Carmichael Lynch has promoted Marcus Fischer to the role of chief executive officer, effective immediately. He will be the fourth CEO in the Minneapolis-based IPG agency’s 55-year history.

Fischer previously spent four years in the role of president under chief executive Mike Lescarbeau, who will now become executive chairman.

“Marcus has been pivotal in building the momentum and success of Carmichael Lynch in recent years,” said Lescarbeau in a statement, adding, “Marcus has built a leadership team that is committed to collaboration and interdependence across disciplines to build a unique and unrivaled offering of advertising and PR under one roof, and I’m excited for the future of the agency under his leadership.”

The new CEO first worked in accounts at Carmichael Lynch from 2003 to 2008, later leaving to run fellow Minneapolis-area agency Space150 before returning to C-L in late 2012 as chief strategy officer.
