“Design is a strategic imperative that helps companies connect emotionally with consumers across multiple disciplines and platforms,” said Cantor, “and therefore plays a critical role in marketing. These new additions will help us catalyze our vision to give clients the competitive advantage they need to succeed.” 

The agency, part of Hakuhodo DY Holdings kyu collective, has also appointed Melissa Stavrides to the post of Group Account Director. She previously worked at Siegel+Gale, Landor and Interbrand. Also the agency has promoted Andy Haug to Creative Director from Associate Creative Director, while Chris Kline has been brought on board as Associate Creative Director.
