Critical Mass Taps Conor Brady, Chris Hayes and Expands in U.K.
Posted in: Uncategorized
Critical Mass has hired Huge’s Conor Brady as its creative chief and Chris Hayes as its chief marketing exec in a bid to boost new-business activity in New York. At the same time, the shop is merging its operations in London with Omnicom digital shop Agency Republic.
The addition of resources in New York and London is part of the Omnicom-backed shop’s plan to move beyond its core strengths of user-experience and analytics and be more cross-discipline, said an agency spokeswoman, who denied that the expansion has anything to do with the merger between rival holding companies Publicis and Omnicom slated for completion later this year. She said the shop’s goal in New York is to go from 15 employees to 50 by the end of the year.
Both Messrs. Brady and Hayes’ roles are new, and they report to CEO Dianne Wilkins, who is based in Calgary, Canada, where the agency was founded.
