CLEVELAND, OH – Nov. 1, 2018 – Dix & Eaton announced today that Tim Dewald has joined the firm as a senior account executive and Kris Fiocca as an assistant account executive.

“In a year of significant growth for our firm, both in terms of revenues and the ongoing addition of diverse talent, the breadth of experience and digital intelligence of these two individuals helps us stay ahead of our clients’ need for real-time insight, solutions that span a variety of channels and audiences, and creative new ideas to drive results.”
