Arnold Names N.Y. President

BOSTON Arnold said it has named Mary Maroun president and managing director of its New York office.

She succeeds Fran Kelly, who in March was named CEO and president of the Havas-owned agency’s U.S. operations, succeeding Ed Eskandarian, who retains the title of chairman [Adweek Online, March 8].

Maroun, 50, will partner with John Staffen, Arnold’s chief creative officer and managing partner in New York. The move reunites the pair, who first worked together a decade ago on the award-winning Nynex Yellow Pages campaign at TBWA\Chiat\Day, where Maroun rose to the level of managing director of its New York office.
