NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2018 /CNW/ -- (NASDAQ: MDCA) - MDC Partners
Inc. announced today that Ryan
Linder has been promoted to Executive Vice President, Global
Chief Marketing Officer, effective immediately. Linder,
charged with overseeing marketing and business development across
the MDC Partners network, takes on the expanded role as part of an
intensified global growth strategy for the company in response to
growing client demand for MDC's diverse and progressive global
agency offering.
Linder will lead a strategic resource team that includes
Robyn Freye (SVP, Strategic Growth,
USA), Lotta Malm Hallqvist (CMO, Europe), and Ned
Russell (Managing Director, Healthcare).
"Ryan is a force of nature," said Scott
Kauffman, MDC Partners Chairman and CEO. "He has
earned the respect of marketers and the trust of our agency
partners through his unwavering dedication to creating
game-changing relationships and purpose–built solutions that
generate real results. He's the person both brands and
agencies want in their corner, and he has been instrumental in
forging many of the most effective partner-client relationships
across the MDC family."
Linder has spent six years at MDC, most recently as US CMO, and
has established himself as a trusted, and successful, partner to
marketers as they tackle today's most pressing and significant
business challenges.
"Ryan is a rarity in his role - he listens more than he talks,"
said Carl Johnson, Founding Partner
& Global CEO of Anomaly. "That approach, which is closer to one
of casting agent, means his focus is on truly matching agency
skillsets, talent and culture with client needs. It's the secret to
his success…and why I like him."
"Linder is hardcore. His dedication to doing right by both
clients and agencies has earned our highest respect," said John
Boiler, Creative Co-Chair and Founder, 72andSunny. "When it comes
to spotting opportunity, he's best in class. And when it comes
to challenging both agencies and clients in service of a
better result, he is fearless. The industry needs more
Linders out there forging the relationships of our future."
"In my six years at MDC, we've seen tremendous success building
some of the most powerful purpose-built solutions for our clients,"
said Linder. "I'm thrilled to now step into a role where we have an
opportunity to build on this globally, across Europe, Latin
America and through our expanding footprint across
Asia-Pacific. This is an exciting
time for the industry, and clients are hungry for exactly the kind
of solutions we create – surrounding their businesses and in-house
teams with the thought leaders who are at the cutting edge of
positive industry change and disruption."
