Thom Middlebrook has been named director of design at McKinney & Silver.

Middlebrook, 44, joins the Raleigh, N.C., agency after serving as executive director at Bill Gates’ Corbis Documentaries.

Veteran McKinney creatives Mabon Childs (creative director) and Kathy Jerrett (associate creative director) will form the core of McKinney’s reformulated design team.

“Thom is a renaissance man who can and does do everything,” said McKinney executive creative director David Baldwin. “What he and his team will do is provide McKinney with a bigger brand offering from start to finish.”

Middlebrook’s appointment, which carries the title of senior vice president, formalizes, as a separate corporate entity, a capability already being tapped by high-profile McKinney clients like Audi, Nasdaq, XO Communications and Bacardi USA.

“McKinney has built a tremendous client list here,” said Middlebrook.
