Kaylee Devine, formerly vice president and director of strategy at Spawn Ideas, returns to the integrated advertising agency as its new President. The change comes as Spawn Ideas, with a fifty-year history of serving clients in Anchorage, was acquired in January by employee-owned Strategic America of West Des Moines, Iowa, through its Bore Tide One Source subsidiary.

“This is an exciting new chapter in Spawn Ideas’ history,” Devine says. “I am looking forward to rejoining Spawn’s talented team in my new role as president of this growing organization, now 130 associates strong, including our friends at Strategic America.”

Devine worked as an account strategist for twelve years before leaving Spawn Ideas in 2023. Most recently, she served as senior director of marketing and communications for NANA North.

“Our entire team is thrilled to welcome Kaylee Devine back,” says Spawn Ideas CEO Karen King. “Kaylee has a remarkable ability to translate a genuine human understanding of people and audiences into winning strategies for building brands and companies.”

Devine holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the W. P. Carey School of Business and a minor in Spanish from Arizona State University.
