King later joined LB Works as COO and, in 2005, joined Publicis & Hal Riney in San Francisco as the agency’s managing director with responsibility for business development. In 2007 King was named president and CEO of this agency.
Schwartz joined Euro RSCG in 2003 as VP, account director and was instrumental in both the agency’s Sprint and Citibank wins.
