W+K Adds Four New Partners

This week, we’re happy to announce the appointment of four new agency partners: Portland Managing Director Tom Blessington, London Managing Director Neil Christie, Portland Executive Creative Director Mark Fitzloff and Global Interactive Executive Creative Director Iain Tait.

We celebrated the news in Portland with an all-agency meeting; a few photos, below.

The announcement was delivered to the agency in the form of a song written by W+K’s Matt Moore and Greg Rutter. Jarrod Higgins played the tuba interlude.

These four join Dan Wieden, Dave Luhr, Susan Hoffman, Bill Davenport, John Jay, Tony Davidson and Kim Papworth as agency partners of the global Wieden+Kennedy network.

David Kennedy bestowed the Portland trio with keys to the agency, and each said a few words, followed by a champagne toast.

Congratulations, Tom, Neil, Mark and Iain!
