Colasanti Wants CL to Be Player on Bigger Stage

Continuing a management transition that has put new directors in charge of most major disciplines, Carmichael Lynch has promoted managing partner John Colasanti to president.
Colasanti takes the title from Jack Supple, who will continue as chief creative officer and chairman of the Minneapolis agency. Former chairman and founder Lee Lynch retains his title of chief executive officer and managing partner.
“He’s been catalytic in all the positive changes around here,” Supple said of Colasanti. “He has a tangible energy that will be valuable for the agency.”
Colasanti, who has been with the shop for six years, was director of account management before Roman Paluta was promoted into the position last month.
