Gravity Global has expanded its senior leadership bench, naming Kyle Allen as Executive Managing Partner, Connection + Media Analytics, and appointing Andy Blotner as SVP, Head of Media. Allen steps into a newly created role, while Blotner succeeds him in the position Allen held for the past 18 years. Blotner will report to Allen, who now supports the newly appointed CEO of Gravity Global, Jose Lozano.
The moves follow a period of rapid growth for the agency. Over the past year, Gravity Global acquired Marketing Doctor and LEE Branding, launched its next-gen division Gravity One, and elevated Luke Leinberger to Global Head of Social Media. Together, the shifts reflect an ongoing push to deepen the agency’s data, media, and analytics capabilities for global clients.
“Kyle and Andy bring an exceptional blend of brand thinking and media performance, which drives impactful results for our clients,” said Jose Lozano, Chief Executive Officer at Gravity Global. “These leaders bring great tact to each team and represent what Gravity Global stands for in every client interaction: providing clarity to complex business challenges.”
In his expanded remit, Allen will oversee media, research, data and analytics, and digital experience, working closely across departments including client services, creative, media, and digital. Blotner will now lead all media planning and activation, while also supporting agency initiatives and new business efforts. Their combined leadership will touch clients such as Whataburger, ConocoPhillips, Mattress Firm, Domino’s Pizza, Cox Communications, and Staples.
“Gravity Global has such a robust offering across its various disciplines, and it’s been rewarding to grow the media arm over the past several years,” said Allen. “Now, this particular moment in time marks an exciting one to step into an elevated role. The agency has grown immensely through strategic acquisitions and, now, with Jose at the helm as CEO, we’re well poised to continue elevating our offering and driving lasting business impact for our clients.”
Before joining Gravity Global, Allen served as Media Director at 9thWonder and Fogarty & Klein, and earlier as Media Supervisor at Eisaman and Johns & Laws. Blotner previously held senior roles as SVP, Group Media Director at MediaCom; SVP, Executive Media Director at Spark Foundry; and Media Director at SFM Media.
“Building off of Kyle’s success, I look forward to continuing to drive impact across a broader remit,” said Blotner. “This role gives me the opportunity to shift from execution to setting direction, aligning our work more closely with company goals and client growth.”
Both leaders assume their new positions effective immediately. Reel 360 News wishes Kyle and Andy all the best at Gravity Global.
