Assembly, MDC's full-service media agency, hired Khartoon Weiss as chief client and marketing officer. Most recently, she served as senior vice president of business development at MDC Partners. She will be based in New York and report to Martin Cass, CEO of both MDC Media Partners and Assembly. Before MDC Partners, Weiss was managing director and chief growth officer at MediaCom, overseeing the agency's North American operations and business development.
