“Periscope succeeds by connecting emotions with behaviors, and Cari is a perfect fit for that pursuit,” Ashworth said. “She understands the importance of culture, creativity and community to serve the constantly evolving needs of today’s marketers. She’s also obsessed with the data science and analytics that fuel product development and business growth. Her experience, energy and fresh perspective make her an ideal fit for a growing agency focused on helping brands perform beyond their expectations.”

Bucci-Hulings joined MARC USA in 2010 and was promoted to president in 2018. Prior to MARC USA, she spent eight years at DraftFCB, and was previously with Leo Burnett.

“Periscope is unencumbered by a complex holding company structure, so it enjoys the agility of an independent agency with access to the vast resources and support of a global parent organization,” said Bucci-Hulings. “The agency’s dynamic culture and unwavering connection to the heart of what makes consumers act results in unexpected, impactful brand experiences. I am thrilled to join this fierce and scrappy organization and to be part of the Quad/Periscope journey to redefine integrated marketing and create an alternative to the traditional siloed agency.”
