Kevin Giebler

Art Director/Designer

Kevin Giebler works with MPD clients to provide brand development, print and website design. He brings more than 20 years of experience in the creative disciplines of print advertising, promotions, brand development, direct mail, point-of-purchase, packaging and website design.

He started his career at The Ad Place, an advertising agency that served primarily local and regional accounts. From there he went to The Dallas Studio/The Marketing Continuum (now Fast Forward) where he helped develop promo- tions for such brands as SBC Global, Levi’s, Frito Lay, Rolling Rock, 7-Eleven, Smirnoff Vodka, Airwalk Shoes, Bank One, Labatt USA and Big Feats Entertainment. He then moved to the client side, spending three-and-a-half years as an in-house art director for Heritage Bag where he developed a strong sense of client needs and challenges. Later, he struck out on his own as Kevin Giebler Creative to offer his expertise for consumer and business clients.

He attended University of Kansas and received a Bachelor of Science degree from Fort Hays State University where he focused on communication design.

When I’m not making the world a more beautiful place with great design, I like long distance running and training for full and half marathons. I have a passion for music and play drums in local cover song band.

What Drives Me Crazy

All Caps

It drives me a little crazy when I see everything in a marketing/advertising piece in all caps. Not everything can be emphasized, so it needs to be used sparingly.

A Fun Fact About Me

Drummer in a dad band

I play drums in a rock band made up of all dads (and a mom) who just wanted a hobby and to get back into the music scene. Plus it’s cheaper than playing golf every weekend.
