Kirk Borland

Director of Strategic Planning

Kirk joined CCFC in the early 90's and served as the Agency's President from 1994 to 2004. During this period of rapid growth, CCFC became increasingly recognized for unexpected creative solutions rooted in smart strategic insights. Together with their Client partners, Kirk and the management team launched new brands, repositioned older brands and helped a diverse client roster achieve leadership in highly competitive categories by putting customer research and understanding at the forefront of the creative process.

Kirk stepped down as head of the Agency in Fall 2004 to focus more single-mindedly on strategic planning and the business development process. This represented a return to the marketing and consumer studies that marked Kirk's career path from his earliest days on Procter & Gamble brands to EVP for packaged goods clients at DDB Worldwide housed in Chicago.

Kirk holds a Masters from Northwestern University's Medill School and has served as a visiting lecturer at both his alma mater as well as DePaul University.
