Here is a little more background on Reitkopf:
Graduating high school in three years. Getting a dual college degree in Economics and English Literature. Traveling around the world solo. Trading precious metals on Wall Street. This wild balance of big business and big ideas ended up being the perfect training for Aaron Reitkopf. Aaron joined kbp in 1997 as head of account services. The majority of Aaron's time was dedicated to the Target business, focusing on redefining Target's value equation. He went on to become President of kirshenbaum bond, overseeing the advertising and strategy arm of kbp and becoming actively involved in integrated efforts with all of kbp's companies.
In 2006, Aaron was named President and CEO of kirshenbaum bond + partners overseeing all kbp companies (kirshenbaum bond, LIME public relations + promotion, Dotglu, The Media Kitchen and Open Mind) to further all integrated efforts and synchronize the work of the company's several hundred employees. Following the completion of kbp's sale to MDC Holdings, Aaron is a free agent. Before kbp, Aaron worked on the Mercedes-Benz account at McCaffrey & McCall Direct and then at Ammirati Puris Lintas and Angotti Thomas Hedge, managing such brands as Saab, Coca-Cola, Bacardi, and Chase Manhattan.
Aaron served as chairman of the Association of American Advertising Agencies for the New York region.
Aaron lives in Manhattan with his wife Amy, and their two children, Maxwell and Hannah.
