‘Round the new hire horn — Part 2

A few weeks ago we wrote up some of the recent new hire news we’ve heard about. And of course, there were a few that we missed. So without further ado, here’s Part 2:

Nicole Coleman – Digital Producer

Maria Walker – Marketing Analyst

Dustin Fuller – Media Buyer

Katie Reid – Curator of Culture & Talent

Lisa Hawkes – Producer

Cody Evans – Interactive Designer

Dannielle Nicholson – Art Director

Mitchell + Palmer

We neglected to include Tyler LaDouceur in our earlier update, who joined Mitchell + Palmer last fall, after a brief stint with Oliver Russell. Tyler joined Mitchell + Palmer as Account/Media Director.

CLM Marketing & Advertising

We’ve heard rumors, but have not yet received confirmation, that Brooke Smith left DaviesMoore recently to join CLM Marketing & Advertising. Given that CLM was looking for a Senior Media Planner / Buyer earlier this year, that seems within the realm of possibility.
