Eric Silver, the former chief creative officer at DDB New York who left the agency last month, has taken a 51 percent stake in Amalgamated. The New York-based independent agency was founded in 2003 by Silver’s former Cliff Freeman and Partner colleagues Charles Rosen, Douglas Cameron and Jason Gaboriau.

Silver has been discussing the move with Amalgamated since March and he now becomes CCO, replacing Gaboriau, who is leaving the agency.

Silver joined DDB in February 2009, replacing then-CCO Lee Garfinkel.
