"Our goal is to surprise and delight our clients on a daily basis," says Bill Koenigsberg, President, Founder and CEO of Horizon Media.  "In order to deliver on this promise we must have clear insight and be properly structured and equipped to meet the waves of new challenges coming at marketers faster than ever before.

"Stan and Eva are proven leaders who are now taking on greater responsibilities in driving client performance, and generously sharing their expertise so Horizon has the strongest possible leadership talent to drive long-term growth for our clients and for Horizon."

Additionally, Kimberly Aiello and Peggy McCann are being promoted to EVP, managing partner.  Both executives previously held the title of SVP, managing director, brand strategy.

The promoted executives are New York-based. Fields and Kantrowitz report to Koenigsberg. Aiello and McCann report to Fields. These changes are viewed as critical to refining operational efficiency and agility to meet the increasing challenges faced by marketers and the industry at large, the agency stated.

Horizon is wrapping up its ninth consecutive year of double digit growth while chalking up a number of important new-business wins in 2016, including Tim Hortons, LG Electronics, Chobani, Avon, La Quinta and Sperry.

The shop is also increasingly diverse in terms of upper management with 54% of its executive team being female.
