Buying desks, onboarding employees, fostering an award-winning culture—Kim Eskro has built Bold Orange as much as the founder and CEO (so says founder and CEO Margaret Murphy). In the past year, Eskro’s accomplishments include supporting the Minneapolis-based marketing agency’s market-leading event, CX Midwest, which convenes more than 200 senior leaders from around the country; organizing an all-company meeting, with employees coming in from 18 states; and leading employee communications with clarity and transparency. “We have a 97% voluntary employee retention rate—and Kim is a big part of that,” Murphy says. “She is caring, helpful, kind, informative, sassy, and always optimistic.”
