Ron Klingensmith 
Chief Creative Officer
Partner
Ron is an intense guy. Whatever he's doing, whether it be birdwatching, biking or brainstorming, his focus is simply beyond compare. We've been lucky enough to benefit from Ron's creative intensity for the past 20 years.
During his time here at Slack and Company, Ron's strategically driven creative work has earned awards (Tower, Pro-Comm, CEBA) for countless clients. Not only that, he has mentored scores of seasoned creatives, who can be found working throughout Chicago’s ad community.
Before landing here, Ron spent nearly a decade at consumer agencies, including a five-year stint at J. Walter Thompson. This consumer sensibility, combined with Ron's love for strategy, is a major reason why our creative product is so people-friendly, while still driving measurable results.
The next time you're in the agency, stop by this enthusiastic South Sider's office for a chat, or to chomp on a handful of pistachios. His door is always open.
