116 & West recently announced that Partner Carolyn Lodge has been promoted from Chief Operating Officer to President.
Lodge joined the agency in 2005 as a media buyer, when it operated as Marketing Media Group. Over the past two decades, she has guided growth through acquisitions, departmental development, expanded service offerings, and geographic expansion.
“Carolyn has been with our agency for 21 of our 27 years in business; she’s been my partner for the last 14,” said Edward Moore, founder of 116 & West. “The experience she’s gained as our Chief Operating Officer and the tenacity with which she’s worked since day one indicate to me she’s ready to lead 116 & West.”
Kallee Mendonca, Director of Client Services, VP, echoed a similar sentiment. “She has an exceptional ability to anticipate where the industry is headed while holding our work to the highest standards of craft and creativity. Just as importantly, she is deeply invested in her people and committed to mentoring, supporting, and helping each of us grow. There is truly no one better to learn from or work for, and our agency’s continued growth is a direct result of her leadership.”
More details about Lodge’s promotion can be found on 116 & West’s website.
As an aside, Carolyn has been a professional colleague and friend for many years. This promotion is well deserved, and I absolutely expect to see continued greatness as a result.
Congratulations Carolyn.
