GKV has named Dave Broscious and Mark Rosica co-creative directors as long-time Creative Director Jeff Millman takes on a new role at the Baltimore-based agency.

“We are so fortunate to have two amazingly talented and smart creative directors at the helm of our creative department,” said Roger Gray, Chairman and CEO. “I have personally worked with Mark and Dave for more than 12 years and continue to be impressed by the quality of work they create and how they continue to raise the bar for our clients and staff every day.”

GKV’s creative team was previously under the direction of Millman, who has been with GKV since 1983. While Millman will continue his leadership role with several accounts, particularly with baby boomer and health-care focused clients, he has turned over the day-to-day operations, strategy and oversight of GKV’s creative department to Broscious and Rosica.

Broscious has over 25 years of creative experience in advertising, first as a copywriter, then creative director, and currently as a chief creative strategist. In his tenure as a creative partner at GKV, he’s played an integral part in many of the agency’s most successful campaigns: PANDORA Jewelry, Sprint, McCormick, Snyder’s-Lance, Blue Cross Blue Shield and the Maryland Lottery.

Prior to joining GKV, he served as a lead creative for various Northeast advertising agencies, developing highly effective, awarding-winning work in the consumer, business-to-business and direct response categories.

Rosica joined GKV in 2006 and has almost 30 years’ experience creating advertising and design in almost every category for clients in the U.S. and abroad. He has won several national and international awards, including: The One Show, Communication Arts, Clios, Cannes, Art Directors Club, London International, New York Festival, ANDY, Archive, National Addys, O’Toole, Effie, Show South, Washington Art Directors Club, Caples, Print Design, AdCritic, Telly’s, HSMAI, Batchy and more.
