The Media Kitchen, a full-service media planning and buying agency owned by MDC Partners, announced today the promotion of Barry Lowenthal to CEO from president.

He is the first person to hold that title in more than a decade.

As CEO, Lowenthal will be tasked with driving further growth in the U.S. and other global markets—The Media Kitchen, based in New York, recently opened offices in Montreal, Toronto, Minneapolis and London under Lowenthal’s leadership. Lowenthal reports to Guy Hayward, the global CEO of partner agency KBS (formerly Kirshenbaum, Bond, Senecal & Partners).

“Today’s announcement is recognition of Barry’s 12 years of strong leadership and vision for The Media Kitchen,” Hayward said in a statement.
