Koestel joins from Publicis New York where she held the title of Senior Art Director.

“To have such a big local impact with brands like the Seattle Aquarium, Seattle Mariners and Seattle Children’s, and to work with international brands like Holland America and Ste. Michelle Wine Estates is a truly unique opportunity here at Copacino+Fujikado,” said Nicole. “What sold me on C+F though, was the family atmosphere. It’s a tight knit, supportive group here. We all root for each other, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”
