FCB Canada expanded its creative team with the arrival of group creative directors Matt Antonello and Noel Fenn to its Toronto office. 

Antonello and Fenn’s arrival follows the promotion of Nancy Crimi-Lamanna and Jeff Hilts to roles as co-CCOs last summer and Jeremiah McNama and Andrew MacPhee being named group creative directors last month.

“With our move into the CCO role, we wanted to put into place a creative structure that keeps us focused on elevating our creative product on a day-to-day basis,” Crimi-Lamanna explained in a statement. “In January, we promoted Jeremiah McNama and Andrew MacPhee to Group Creative Directors and with the addition of Matt and Noel, we’ve rounded out a senior creative leadership team that will help us continue to build on our momentum.”
