In 2022, Ken transitioned ownership of Sp!ke Advertising to Emiliano Void (founder and CEO of nuwave Equity Corporation) via a donation/mentoring model. As Marketing of Counsel for nuwave Agency (nwA), Ken oversees work performed for the State of Vermont under the Agency’s Master Marketing Contract, and provides ad hoc strategic and creative direction in-house and for select clients.
