Now that he’s officially taken his CCO post at The Martin Agency, it looks like John Norman (right) is finally getting down to business. The Richmond, VA-based agency’s first creative lead in three decades unveiled a new group creative director tier at the agency, with veteran CDs Cliff Sorah, Joe Alexander, Steve Bassett, Delta hater Andy Azula and Nancy Hannon taking on additional responsibilities as GCDs, as will new additions Keith Cartwright and brothers Eric and Keith Tilford.
The aforementioned bros will also join forces with the agency’s studio and digital art leadership to create Design@Martin. In a statement, Norman says, “We’re just re-assembling the parts to make it even more nimble, even more technologically forward and even more social–we’re going to work more in groups.” Along with the creative shifts, Martin Agency is also redesigning the 30,000+ square foot second floor of the agency to accommodate the new “surround the work” style.
