Tammy Einav, CEO of adam&eveDDB, said: "We know from our experience in New York how deeply rewarding it is to work closely with local businesses and talent."

Brim called the hires: “brilliantly strategic, unbelievably creative and thoroughly nice guys."

The agency also has offices in New York and London. Its parent company is Omnicom.
