TEAM
Tracey Owens
President, Founding Partner
Tracey is equally passionate about delivering great creative and driving strong results for our clients’ business. She also believes that great service is a major point of differentiation. Her mom, a small business owner herself, taught her the most valuable lesson: treat your customers right and they'll come back again and again. It’s this philosophy that she and Jim built o2kl on — and what she continues to promote and live every day.
Jim Lurie
General Manager, Founding Partner
Boundless energy. Tenacious. Problem-solver. To Jim, client relationships aren’t just business, they’re personal. It’s part of the DNA that he and Tracey established when forming o2kl. Which is why Jim will go to the wall to make sure we deliver for our clients. Because he knows when our clients win, o2kl wins.
