Former Washington Redskins executive Stephen Baldacci has become a partner at E. James White Communications. Beginning today, the agency will operate as White & Baldacci.

Baldacci, who most recently was president of business operations and chief marketing officer for the NFL team, joins Matt White, chairman and CEO of the Herndon, Va., independent agency. Baldacci’s arrival signals a change in the shop’s management model. White said W&B will shift its focus from providing creative resources to marketing consulting.

“Management consulting firms like KPMG and Andersen have tread on advertising’s domain, but they don’t have the creative ability,” White said.
