Less than a week after its top two creative leaders announced that they would be stepping down after relatively short tenures, Wieden + Kennedy New York named its newest executive creative director in an internal promotion.

Karl Lieberman, who has been with the indie agency's Portland office since 2008, will relocate to the East Coast to lead its creative team in Manhattan. 

Last week, W+K announced that both David Kolbusz (a veteran of BBH London and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners) and Jaime Robinson (formerly with Pereria & O'Dell) would be leaving their roles after tenures of a year and a half and less than eight months, respectively.
