Paluta Rises to Director; No Sweeping Changes Are Planned
CHICAGO–In his new position as director of account management at Carmichael Lynch, Roman Paluta said he wants to continue the “tremendous strides” made recently by the department.
“In the last year, we submitted six entries to the Effies and won four, and had no client losses,” he said. “And we’re starting to attract the best in the [account management] class from around the country.”
Paluta, who previously worked as one of three group account directors at the $220 million agency, takes control of the 50-person department from managing partner John Colasanti, whose duties were expanded in August after chief operating officer Lisa Meyer exited the Minneapolis agency.
Colasanti will continue to oversee the shop’s media, planning, relationship marketing and new-business departments.
