The same night (nay, same hour) Arrested Development won its first Emmy for outstanding comedy series, Steve picked up his own for television commercial of the year. Steve Driggs and Ron Howard- just a couple a’ respective veterans. But seriously, Steve’s been in this industry longer than he looks. From seven years as executive creative director at Struck, to Fallon before that, then Chiat/Day, Saatchi & Saatchi, you get the picture. Safe to say he’s helped make a lot of the brands you know… into a lot of the brands you know (BMW, Nikon, Sports Illustrated, Citibank, etc).

In a past life (you know, like early 20s), Garrett played guitar in the indie rock outfit Uzi & Ari. Record deal, 17-country tour, shows from Tokyo to Paris…

Next, he pulled focus to writing and film. Wrote & directed a feature-length doc, picked up some awards and procured a small theatrical release.

Finally, he dedicated his talents to what his parents would call a “career.” Starting as a copywriter at Struck, he quickly endeared clients with conspicuous results, and the agency with some high-profile recognition. He’s got a special love for travel & tourism, and has served clients such as The Grand America, the Utah office of Tourism, CMH, Lennar, Discovery Channel and DreamWorks.

Phil is at once an artist, a strategist, a marketing wizard, and a chess master. He graduated from BYU with a degree in Creative Advertising and a minor in Graphic Design.

Phil started his career in New York at McCann-Erickson, where he worked on accounts such as Black&Decker, Verizon and Intel. But the sirens* of the Great Salt Lake soon wooed him back west for an art director gig at Struck .

In his five years at Struck he was a key creative lead on accounts such as Deer Valley Resort, the Utah Office of Tourism, Ski Utah, City Creek Center, Castor & Pollux, Jack in the Box, and the Grand America hotels.

*of whom he married one.

We don’t like to say we have favorites, so Suzanne King is our… shall we say, number one? Dearly beloved? Highest revered?

Before being hired on at GumCo, she spent two years as a designer at Struck, and a year doing interactive & web design at Axis 41. She’s amassed an impressive body of work for clients such as Sunkist, Pike’s Peak, Corona and Xango.

She graduated from the University of Utah on the Dean’s list, in the honor society, and, of course, playing classical piano all the way though. She once graced this office full-time, but since her little one came along, we must be satisfied with freelancing her whenever we can.
