Koukkos is behind campaigns for Dunkin’ Donuts, Liberty Mutual, CVS/Pharmacy, John Hancock and Zildjian and was named to The Boston Ad Club’s “Hatch 100” as a top creative mind in Boston.

Raulie has headed integrated campaigns for GE, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Staples and Museum of Science in partnership with Pixar.

Both Koukkos and Raulie received an Emmy nomination for their work with the Boston Celtics.

“Koukkos and Raulie have proven how a creative idea can come to life across multiple channels -- and how data, analytics, and social must be woven together to create a powerful story,” Bill Fleishman, CEO, Cone Communications, said.

Boston-based Cone is part of the Omnicom Public Relations Group.
