DraftFCB has hired two top interactive-marketing creatives for its flagship agency and a new chief executive for its healthcare division.
David Bryant and Timothy Bruns join DraftFCB as executive vice presidents-executive creative directors, new posts in the New York office. Separately, DraftFCB named Harold Corbran, Jr. to help lead its healthcare division.
Bryant takes charge as worldwide creative director on DraftFCB’s interactive work for Motorola. He had been vice president-creative director at Digitas, New York, before joining DraftFCB.
Bruns takes the lead for the agency’s digital work for clients including HP, Gerber, Kraft, Starbucks, Hampton Inn, Gevalia and MetLife. He had been executive creative director at Tequila/NY, a division of TBWA/Chiat Day. Both men report to chairman-chief creative officer Christoph Becker.
“The interactive space is critical to the growth and success of DraftFCB, and, in these two talented creatives, we have found the leaders of our digital practice,” Becker said in a statement. “Their drive to collaborate and work across disciplines is what attracted us to them, especially as we build a creative department without lines and silos.”
Meanwhile, Corbran becomes executive vice president and chief operating officer, a new post at DraftFCB HealthCare. He’ll oversee day-to-day operations, build out agency capabilities and head up new business development.
Corbran moves to New York-based DraftFCB HealthCare from the same post at Euro RSCG Life Marketing Services Group. Before joining the agency side, Corbran spent 20 years at Parke-Davis, in marketing and sales posts.
“We’ve experienced explosive growth in the past few years, and it has become evident that we need a COO to help us manage expansion,” said Dana Maiman, president/CEO of DraftFCB HealthCare. “Harold has the varied experience for which we have been searching.”
Chicago-based Draft (before its merger with Foote, Cone & Belding) ranked No. 17 in the 2006 PROMO 100 with estimated net revenues of $387.4 million, up an estimated 15% from 2003.
