Chicago, Ill., April 1, 2021 — Digital-native marketing agency closerlook, inc., has brought on two seasoned agency executives to help nurture and manage its growing portfolio of new business.

“Gregg Geider brings an elevated level of senior level strategic experience and will help drive our clients’ brands to new levels of success,” said Allison Davis, closerlook’s chief client officer.  

“At closerlook, I’ll be able to do what I love most, which is spending time with clients offering strategic advice and guiding their brands forward,” said Geider. “It’s where I find the greatest joy and the most fun in the business.”

Julie Spoleti

In addition to Geider, the agency also has recently selected Julie Spoleti to serve as a managing director.
