Fox to Support Gage’s Expansion into Marketing Technology and Services with Platforms

SEATTLE, February 28, 2017— Gage, a Minneapolis-based marketing technology solution agency with offices in Seattle, announced today it has hired John Fox as its first vice president, global customer success.

The move marks Fox’s return to Gage who first joined the agency in 1999 and went on to lead Gage’s marketing and strategic campaigns for some of the world’s best-known brands, including Microsoft, Sony, Best Buy, Cisco and HP. John was part of a team from Gage that received two Worldwide Best Practice awards from Microsoft—one from Bill Gates and one from Steve Ballmer.

 “John brings a drive and an entrepreneurial spirit with everything he touches. In fact, it was his thought leadership in marketing and technology that eventually helped lead to the creation of our MARKET Platform. Joined by EDUCATE and REWARD, Gage’s marketing platforms offer e-learning, marketing automation and loyalty and incentives to help brands increase sales,” said Tom Belle, president & CEO of Gage. “John has proven his abilities time and again, and we’re fortunate to have him back at Gage.”

Prior to rejoining Gage, Fox most recently served as director of North American marketing communication for California-based Kerr Corp., part of the global portfolio of Danaher Corporation, a global Fortune 500 firm. Previously, he was client director and founder of Irvine, California-based Quiver, a full-service distributed marketing services agency. Earlier in his career, Fox also served as vice president, global account management, at Atlanta-based PR and experiential marketing agency Leader Enterprises Inc.

“Gage has always had a history of combining marketing and technology in ways that world-class brands appreciate. Now the agency is making a strategic pivot to include both Software as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) as another way to accelerate positive behavior. I am thrilled to be rejoining the ranks at Gage, which has always been forward thinking and has the drive of an entrepreneurial shop.  I look forward to working with the team to help our global customers reach new levels of success while allowing their customers and partners to achieve more,” said Fox.
