CHICAGO-Minneapolis-based Martin/Williams Advertising in Minneapolis has named five partners to manage the agency as its top two executives step aside from its helm but continue to run the shop’s corporate parent.
Dave Floren, 55, retains his titles of chairman and chief executive officer with holding company Martin/Williams Inc. but relinquishes them at the advertising unit. Similarly, Tom Weyl, 54, continues as president and chief creative officer of the parent company while the new partners take command of the advertising unit.
That new management team consists of Steve Collins, strategic client services director; Tim Frojd, finance director; Mike Gray, director of business development; Lyle Wedemeyer, creative director; and Dan Woodbury, director of marketing services.
The partners, all in their 40s, have worked an average of 14 years with the agency, Floren said.
