DALLAS–JWT Specialized Communications here has promoted two of its top executives and shifted responsibility for day-to-day operations at the shop.





Ron Jenkins, who previously served as president of JWT Specialized Communications’ operations in both Dallas and Houston, assumes the new title of managing partner. Leslye Geller becomes managing director, with responsibility for the agency’s daily operations in Dallas.





Geller and Karen Eldred, who is managing director of JWTSC’s Houston office, will continue to report to Jenkins.





Jenkins said he has recently taken on additional national responsibilities, including some new business development chores.





‘We’re growing in so many different areas that I just had to get out of the day-to-day aspect of it,’ Jenkins said.





Jenkin’s said his president’s title was changed to managing director for the sake of consistency with other offices.





Geller is a 15-year veteran of the agency.
