As part of the deal, creative veteran Todd Irwin, who founded dc3—which he described as an "edgy" boutique shop—in 2009, was named partner and chief creative officer at Cummins & Partners. He joins founder and global CEO Sean Cummins and chief strategist Arwa Mahdawi on the agency's partnership team.
