Howard Belk Co-President, Chief Creative Officer, Siegel + Gale 
As Co-President of Siegel+Gale, Howard shares operating responsibility for the overall performance of the firm with partner David Srere. Slightly more fun than counting and allotting the corporate coins, however, is his role as Chief Creative Officer and anointed High Priest of Unorthodoxy. It is Howard’s job to challenge S+G’s corporate branding, advertising, interactive and simplification creative teams to live up to and give fresh expression to the credo of our founder Alan Siegel – Simple is Smart. At Siegel+Gale, simple means brand expressions that are clear, fresh, honest, useful and inspiring.Howard’s experience developing corporate branding creative strategies and executions spans many industries, including biotech, consumer brands, education, energy, entertainment, financial services, industrials, insurance, non-profits, pharmaceuticals, technology and telecommunications. He has led programs for Allstate, American Express, The American Stock Exchange, Comcast, Daiichi Sankyo, Dow Jones, Intelsat, MCI, Motorola, Free Library of Philadelphia, Guidant Corporation, Ingersoll Rand, The New School, SunTrust Bank, and Tata Consultancy Services. Before joining Siegel+Gale Howard served as Group Director of Interbrand New York and prior to that as President and CEO of Red Sky Interactive. In 1988 Howard founded Belk Mignogna Associates, a nationally recognized, award-winning branding and corporate communications company serving many Fortune 500 clients. He joined the Omnicom network when that firm (the world's largest marketing services holding company) acquired Belk Mignogna in 1999. His 25+year career has led Howard to speak at professional conferences, to jury numerous competitions of professional organizations, to lecture as guest professor at University of the Arts in Philadelphia, to publish essays and commentary, to serve on the Brand Advisory Board of Appleton Papers and to win many awards and distinctions for art direction. Howard holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and has completed Omnicom’s Senior Management and Graduate Management Programs at Babson College, where of course, he was three-year letterman in Serifs. www.siegelandgale.com [ back ] |
