NEW YORK--()--G&S Business Communications, a global leader in providing business and communications strategies to drive growth for clients, has appointed Kevin Pchola as vice president to accelerate the agency’s expansion in consumer categories, including home and lifestyle, as well as building and construction segments.

G&S counsels and supports businesses in marketing products and services, building strong brands, and managing issues and relationships throughout their customers’ purchase journeys. In his new role based in New York, Pchola’s primary focus is to guide the agency’s consumer team in shaping integrated communications programs that convert brand experiences into measurable business results for clients. His position reports to Audra Hession, managing director of the G&S New York headquarters.

“We welcome Kevin’s leadership and innovative vision to help G&S clients realize even greater value from their consumer engagement strategies,” said Hession. “Kevin brings the ideal blend of corporate, brand and media experience, as well as deep expertise in digital and social media to further strengthen the outstanding agency team that is already in place.”

Prior to joining G&S, Pchola was most recently vice president of consumer accounts at Zeno Group in New York, where his client experience over several years included extensive programs for Office Depot, Evenflo, Sleepy’s, Women’s Sports Foundation and Sobieski Vodka. Earlier in his career, he held account management positions at MWW Group and Edelman, directing campaigns for top-tier consumer brands, among them Brawny (Georgia-Pacific), Captain Morgan (Diageo), Hershey, Nikon and Under Armour. A highlight of his work was his co-development of the award-winning public relations effort behind Dove’s “Campaign for Real Beauty,” a national initiative designed to redefine the meaning of beauty. Pchola’s prior experience also included corporate communications and public affairs roles at Wyndham Worldwide and Glaxo Wellcome, respectively.

“I am excited to collaborate with our industry-leading clients and top-performing account teams at G&S,” said Pchola. “Consumer brands thrive where business and communications intersect, a powerful concept that has been elevated by G&S to a disciplined approach that results in growth for clients. There is a fertile environment for innovation at our agency, and I look forward to contributing in ways that will benefit both clients and employees.”
