Having spent all of his adult life on the client side, Frank is our franchise and specialty retail expert when it comes to strategic marketing and out-of-the-box thinking.  With over 15 years of retail marketing expertise, Frank has kicked-ass for several specialty retailers including Yankee Candle where he led all direct to consumer marketing efforts, home improvement giants like Ace Hardware and CCA Global Partners where he was Vice President of Marketing for all offline, online, social media and lead generation marketing efforts.

Frank brings to Kel & Partners something most agencies could only dream of; a pragmatic marketing mind with a deep understanding of what it takes to be accountable for marketing goals and objectives (from first hand experience), and the ability to develop award winning creative concepts that glean national attention.

Personally, everyone who gets to know Frank says they would want to be in a bunker with him in any battle.  His personality, passion and creative energy show through every day, and he takes personal pride in making sure it’s always about the team.

Franks other great passion is inspired by his mother’s cooking, and his Italian-American descent.  Frank considers himself a bit of a “foodie”, and can often be found wandering the little Italian grocers or Farmer’s Markets in Boston’s North End on any given weekend.

Frank is a graduate of Siena College in Upstate New York and holds a BA in Marketing and Political Science.
