ATLANTA–A former Leo Burnett vice president and current Harvard University M.B.A. candidate is joining Crispin Porter & Bogusky as the Miami shop’s new president.
Jeff Hicks, 31, will begin his new post May 1, when CP&B’s current president, Chuck Porter, advances to chairman.
‘We have been looking for a new president partly so that I can go back to thinking about our clients,’ Porter said. ‘(I won’t) be as involved in managing the business, which I was never very good at.’
Hicks, who graduates from Harvard this June, previously was one of Burnett’s youngest vice presidents, serving as regional account director for the Chicago agency.
