Howard Liszt will relinquish his title as chief executive officer of Campbell Mithun Esty at the end of the year to chairman Bill Dunlap, finalizing a power shift at the agency.
Liszt’s departure had been expected since chief creative officer Jim White left the Minneapolis-based agency in September [Adweek, Sept. 20.]. Liszt will remain a consultant with the shop through 2000.
“That will be my 25th year at the agency,” Liszt said. “I’d always looked at taking retirement earlier than some others.”
Liszt, who will be 55 when he officially leaves next year, joined CME in 1976 and was named CEO in 1995.
