Kingsley was previously vice president and head of media relations at brokerage and trading services firm Convergex, which he joined in 2013 and oversaw media and PR. Prior to that, he counseled clients and internal teams on media strategy at Emanate PR, where he served as vice president. Kingsley, who has a journalism and media production background, was formerly a TV producer at Bloomberg Television and the Fox News Channel.

At Intermarket, Kingsley will oversee communications initiatives for the agency’s financial services clients, which includes asset managers, investment banks and exchanges.

New York-based Intermarket, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, recently added a bevy of new clients to its roster, including AcadiaSoft, Arthveda Capital, Bank Leumi USA, Broadhaven Capital Partners, Reaves Asset Management and RBC Wealth Management.

The independent agency in a statement said it is currently boosting staff in response to both a surge in business and a recent diversification of key practice areas, which now includes food, nutrition and education. Other recent hires at the agency include senior account executive Eleis Brennan, and assistant account executive Benjamin Sheng.

Intermarket saw net fees of more than $3.8 million in 2014, making them among the top 10 agencies for financial PR and investor relations, according to O’Dwyer’s rankings of PR firms.
