XYZ Graphics LA Expands Account Team
August 11, 2011
XYZ Graphics, a leading creative service, image creation and post-production studio today announced the recent hire of two of Los Angeles’ most prominent Account Directors, Jesse Irwin and Kiki Gomez. Coming to XYZ with more than 20 years of sales experience, Irwin and Gomez will manage XYZ’s accounts out of the Los Angeles studio.
“We are pleased to have such dynamic and respected professionals join our team,“ said Steve Waterloo, president of XYZ.
A purveyor of well-made products and a curator of good taste, Irwin’s interest in how design affects the human experience began long ago and led to a start in graphic design. For the past 11 years Irwin has developed and managed print for such select brands as Porsche, Jaguar, Land Rover, Tommy Bahamas, Cleveland Golf and the Getty. Irwin’s interest in technology and motion graphics led him to XYZ where he is thrilled to join such an incredible pool of talent. He resides in Long Beach, CA with his wife Rebecca, his two young and strapping boys, 1 Labrador, a cat and an alligator lizard.
Gomez spent 8 years as a successful Business Banker, as one of the top sales producers for Bank of America and US Bank. After excelling in banking he decided to chase his dream of working in the Entertainment/Advertising world. Mentoring underneath Steve "Scof" Schofield for 8 months as a Jr. Rep in Zoic's VFX commercial department Kiki quickly started to shine at Zoic, showing his ability to establish relationships due to his passion for the industry. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Gomez fully lives the So Cal lifestyle. Whether it’s rocking out on the guitar, surfing, yoga or playing hoops, it is never a dull moment being around him.
“We are continuing to build one of the most exciting Image Creation Studios in the Los Angeles area.” said Steven Henry, Managing Director of Los Angeles, “Bringing Jesse and Kiki on board is just a indication of things to come”
