Carmichael Adds 2 Executives

Carmichael Lynch in Minneapolis last week added two new top-level executives, naming Michael Swanson media director and Diane Jordan director of the agency’s direct marketing group.
Swanson succeeds senior partner Sumer Bileydi, who announced earlier this year he would take early retirement from the agency. Bileydi, who joined Carmichael in 1974 as its first media director, will remain at the agency until the end of the year to oversee the transition. During Bileydi’s 24-year tenure, the shop boosted its billings from $15 million to more than $200 million.
