John Maxham, who most recently was an executive creative director and managing partner at Cole & Weber United in Seattle, fills a vacancy left by the August exit of Ewan Paterson. Paterson led the creative department for more than three years.

Maxham, who spent four years at Cole & Weber, will partner with Chicago CEO Paul Gunning.
