Since joining the agency in 2018, Markovic has lent her design and execution skills to a variety of Hawkeye client accounts, most recently on Four Seasons.

Morrison joined the Hawkeye creative team from Publicis’ Optic Nerve studio over five years ago and stepped into into the copy lead role on Four Seasons after a stint on the U.S. Citi Bank business.

Maxsein has been with Hawkeye for six years and has worked on brands such as Citi, Wondery and Beiersdorf. Maxsein also plays an active role on Hawkeye’s Diversity & Inclusion Driving Change Committee.
