Bronner Shuffles Deck

BOSTON–A sweeping round of executive changes and layoffs at Bronner Slosberg Humphrey, including the retirement of president Steve Humphrey and the reassignment of chief creative officer Michael Slosberg, was positioned last week by chairman Michael Bronner as a “shifting of resources” necessitated by agency growth.
Sources close to the direct marketing giant, however, said the moves also signal a consolidation of power with Bronner and David Kenny, the former Bain & Co. executive named chief operating officer in September.
Humphrey, who had been an architect of the Boston shop’s rapid expansion throughout the 1990s, retired as the year began, Bronner said.
