Bob Bourgeois rejoined Mortenson Safar Kim (MSK) as executive vice president in its Milwaukee office. Bourgeois will direct the Milwaukee office and will also be responsible for new business development and maintaining and growing existing client relationships.

He joins the agency, following an 8-year stint on the senior leadership team of Penzeys Spices. Bourgeois began his career as a copywriter in Milwaukee in the late 1980s. He then moved into account management at Cramer-Krasselt and McCann-Erickson. In the late 1990s, he rejoined the predecessor firm to MSK as vice president and director of account management. Over the course of nine years, he was promoted several times, eventually becoming chief operating officer and playing a key role as the agency was acquired by Mortenson.

"This is a return to our firm for Bob. He worked with us on the acquisition of our predecessor agency and helped set the foundation for MSK as it is today," said Chris Mortenson, CEO of MSK. "Bob's extensive experience spanning traditional and digital marketing from both the agency and client sides will help us continue to grow our business and that of our clients."
