RIESTER

Ben Dveirin has been promoted to associate creative director. Dveirin started his creative career at a Portland boutique agency and joined Riester~Robb eight years ago to assist in the agency’s anti-smoking campaign in Arizona, which was later licensed to 38 states. Dveirin’s approach is one-of-a-kind. His work has appeared in the Graphis International Poster Annual, Print’s Design Annual, the Communication Arts Advertising Annual, and the Outdoor Advertising Association of America’s OBIE Awards. His current client roster includes Arizona Lottery, Gold’s Gym, California Department of Conservation, and MidFirst Bank. Mike Levario, an eight-year Riester~Robb veteran with more than 15 years of experience in the advertising industry, has been promoted to senior art director. Levario’s unique perspective and talent gives his work a recognizable edge. His current client list includes the Arizona Lottery, the Arizona Science Center, the California Department of Conservation, the Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau, and McDonald’s. Previously, he spent four years at McCann-Erickson in Phoenix and also spent two years in San Francisco as a freelance art director. “Mike and Ben have meant a lot to this agency for many years,” said Tom Ortega, creative director for Riester~Robb. “Both are very thoughtful in the way they approach their work. That shows in the smart creative advertising they help produce for our clients.”
