Cukjati Announces New Managing Partner & Associate Creative Director

Cukjati | brand development + creative is delighted to announce the appointment of Ryan Schaul to Managing Partner. He joined the firm in 2007 as Account Services Director, managing the firm’s client relationships; however, in recent years, he has strengthened and re-structured the firm’s project management function and now directs that service, too.

As Managing Partner, he will be responsible for the implementation of the firm’s strategic plan and the day-to-day management of the firm. He will also continue to head up the firm’s account services and project management functions.

He said of his appointment, “I am honored to be at the helm of Cukjati. I intend to consolidate the firm’s position as the premier local brand development and creative firm while identifying and taking up opportunities to extend our client base regionally. These are exciting times for Cukjati. We have an extremely capable and loyal work force — and that is what makes Cukjati a leading agency in Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region.”

Mary and John Cukjati, the firm’s principals, stated, "We are both delighted that Ryan has been appointed Managing Partner and are certain that his energy, motivational talents and his outstanding commitment to client services will enable the firm to develop and expand despite a challenging business environment". Mary will continue with the firm as Executive Creative Director and Strategist, but will no longer manage the day-to-day operations of the firm. John will act as a financial management consultant to the agency.

In addition, the firm has promoted Konstance Smith to Associate Creative Director.
She has been with the firm for seven years and has received local, regional and national recognition for her creative capabilities.
