Blue Chip Reorganizes Around 'Collaborative C-Suite,' Says It Makes It 'Nimbler'

Blue Chip, the Chicago-based independent agency specializing in brand and shopper marketing, has reorganized its leadership team, replacing a conventional corporate hierarchy with a “collaborative C-Suite of partners.” That said, they still report to Founder and CEO Stanton Kawer, who states the new structure is “built for scale” and “speed of collaboration” that neither boutiques nor holding companies can provide.

The agency said the timing for the reorganization was prompted by a combination of external factors -- “omnichannel marketing, agile resourcing and technology innovation” -- it asserts have reshaped the agency services business.

Blue Chip’s new C-suite includes a new president, CMO, Chief Growth Officer, CFO, as well as a redefined COO role. They include:
