Kendra Hatcher King is Global Chief Design Officer at Spark Foundry (Publicis Groupe), where she leads a design-led approach that fuses audience intelligence, experience strategy, media, and content to deliver measurable business impact.

With more than 25 years of experience across agencies and consultancies such as Leo Burnett, Starcom MediaVest, Razorfish, Publicis Sapient, and Accenture Song, she advises Fortune 500 and Global 1000 brands on how to connect craft with outcomes, building experiences that earn attention, move culture, and perform across the full funnel. Her work sits at the intersection of creativity and technology, reimagining how a media agency brings ideas to life through audience engagement, commerce, and platforms.

Kendra brings a sharp point of view on creative excellence and effectiveness: experiences that are not only brilliantly architected, but useful, integrated, and built for scale. A published author and mentorship advocate, she supports the Effie mentorship program, co-founded Project XL, an HBCU upskilling and mentorship initiative, and mentors leaders through Publicis Groupe’s ‘Lead from the Front’ program.

She holds degrees from Ohio University and Northwestern University and is based in the United States, Atlanta, Georgia.
