While we’re on the Minneapolis tip today, we should let you know that less than a year after leaving Fallon for fellow Twin Cities operation Carmichael Lynch, Dave Damman has been promoted to chief creative officer at the latter agency (the post was vacant for months and was last held by Jim Nelson). Damman rejoined CL last March as ECD on Rubbermaid and First Energy accounts as well as new business pitches.
The new Carmichael Lynch CCO, who kickstarted his career at Saatchi & Saatchi New York as an art director and assumed the same title at TracyLocke among other agencies, will oversee a client roster that includes the aforementioned Rubbermaid (make that Newell Rubbermaid) as well as Subaru of America and Jack Link’s. Damman first joined Carmichael Lynch in 1996 and worked on Harley-Davidson and Brown Foreman.
