Ben Konkol

Ben had an action-packed introduction to Drake Cooper/agency life in 2017. After completing his Backstage Pass internship, he hurled himself on board full-time as a Production Artist during a whirlwind capstone semester at Boise State University. As a BFA in Illustration, Ben felt drawn toward higher-level creative control, and in 2019 he made the shift to his current position as Art Director, where he now works diligently to implement and curate visual aesthetics in branding and advertising materials. Ben is also moderately good at ping pong and a semi-dedicated advocate of this severely underrated office sport–make sure to challenge him to a match next time you find yourselves near a table.
