Kevin Ragland - VP/Creative Director
The Martin Agency // AdWeek Agency of the Year: 2009, 2020, 2021

Kevin grew up in Virginia and graduated from VCU’s advertising program just before the Brandcenter became a thing. After stops in Pittsburgh and Austin, he came home to Richmond and joined The Martin Agency in 1998. In 28 years at Martin, he’s worked on a little bit of everything, including 13 years leading Discover and, since 2020, has led creative teams all over the world for UPS and its global Be Unstoppable campaign.

An art director by training, Kevin is equally happy talking ideas, strategy or even numbers. He likes getting deep into the business, believing the more you understand, the more interesting the creative possibilities become.

When not working, Kevin enjoys spending time with his family, writing short bios about himself in the third person and wishing he could dunk a basketball. Just once.
