Modernista! Co-Founder Migrates to Hill Holliday

Wow. Big goings on in the Boston ad world today. Modernista! co-founder and Executive Creative Director, Lance Jensen has left after a 10 year run and has landed at Hill Holliday.

In 2000 Lance started Modernista! with Gary Koepke and prior to that he was Executive Vice President, Group Creative Director at Arnold. Now, he'll be taking the role of Chief Creative Officer at Hill Holliday; replacing Kevin Moehlenkamp who left this month.

“Kevin came to me about a year ago, saying that in five years, he had accomplished just about everything he wanted to accomplish as CCO, and that he would eventually be looking to move on.,” said Hill Holliday CEO Mike Sheehan in a statement. “As someone who once held that position, I understood his request. I asked him for one more year, and he obliged. Kevin led us through five consecutive years of growth. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”

“Hill Holliday is the best kept secret in the industry,” said Jensen, in a statement. “They are whip-smart, focused, and progressive. They have a talent base that is deep and strong across all the disciplines that matter right now – including media, which I think is critically important for modern creativity. And they’re home to fantastic brands that I’ll be honored to help create work for. I came to Hill Holliday to do the best work of my life. I can’t wait to get started.”

This is big news for both agencies and we look forward to seeing them change, grow and succeed.
