PETERMAYER, a New Orleans-based integrated marketing agency, named Matt Kuttan as its new Chief Creative Officer.

Previously, he held creative director posts at Leo Burnett, Saatchi X, Burrell Communications. He worked on campaigns for McDonald’s Literacy Store, Toyota’s “Five O’Clock” Super Bowl spot and Miller Lite's “Bar-Scented Candles.”

The agency has recently changed ownership. Chief Strategy Officer Michelle Edelman took over as owner-CEO earlier this year from the Mayer family. She said Kunan brings a “multidimensional depth and sensitivity to the way he relates to people, as well as dexterity in thinking across channels and environments.”

Kuttan takes over the CCO role from Desmond LaVelle, who introduced Kuttan to the agency.

The 80-person agency works with brands such as Lumen Technologies, McCormick's Zatarain's and Thai Kitchen and NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
