Former Wieden CD Jerry Cronin Completes Management Team

The new entity is a mouthful: Bayless/Cronin, a Merkley Newman Harty Co. It will be a freestanding unit of New York-based Merkley, which has been looking to bolster its Southeast presence, where it has mostly served a single client, BellSouth.
