Maine Designer Joins Hauptman As Creative Chief

Dan Howard has been tapped as associate creative director of Hauptman & Partners Communications. He will join the 11-person, Portland, Maine, shop next Monday and report to agency owner and creative director Jim Hauptman.





For the past two years, Howard has served as design director at Creative Design & Marketing, also in Portland, where he oversaw package design work for Shaw’s Supermarkets.





Howard is joining Hauptman because he wants to work on consumer and business advertising as well as design projects, he said.





Howard and Jim Hauptman, a copywriter, have teamed up in the past on such accounts as the Maine State Housing Authority and The Portland Press-Herald.
