MDC’s media group Assembly has hired Jeff Brooks as its chief commercial officer from M&C Saatchi‘s New York office, where he was CEO.

Saatchi hired Brooks in January 2012 to help re-open its New York office; prior to that move, he served as New York CEO and chief digital officer at Euro RSCG, now known as Havas WW. In the new role, he will oversee business development, strategic services and creative-agency partnerships as well as research.

In recent months, Assembly has been on a consolidating and hiring spree–it merged its media agency brands under a single umbrella and hired agency vets to run the show. In the wild world of new media, MDC is looking for ways to stay on top of whatever’s next.
