Jessica Christopher has joined the agency as a Senior Account Executive based in Philadelphia, and Xiamara Garza has joined the firm as a Phoenix-based Assistant Account Executive.
“If the reality of the past year-and-a-half has shown us anything, it’s that the work we do truly can be done from almost anywhere,” said Scott Battishill, Curator’s principal. “With our recent growth, we’ve also been able to open ourselves up to a national talent pool in a way we’ve not previously been able to when we needed to all be working in the same office space in downtown Seattle. Jessica and Xiamara are great additions to our team.”
