H&P has taken its strategic and operational capabilities to a completely new level with the addition of Steve Kunkel. Years ago someone gave DJ Haddad this great advice in reference to the management of a design team: “Never let the lunatics run the asylum.” Well, H&P is finally heeding that advice. In addition to the expansion of their strategic services, Steve’s 10+ years of advertising experience will also be leveraged to assist in an operational capacity as well. Nobody likes to say Steve is the “oldest” guy at Haddad & Partners, the team just refers to him as the “most experienced” instead.

Most recently from DMW Direct in Pennsylvania, where he focused on direct marketing to the 50+ market, Steve has successfully grown and helped manage a number of high profile agencies and brands throughout his distinguished career. In particular, Steve has focused on the development and implementation of social networking strategies for new and emerging brands.  

Steve now heads up H&P’s office in Austin, Texas where he lives with his wife and three sons.
