New Business Hires at Zimmerman - Ryan Linder and Jeff McClelland

Leading National Retail Brand Builder Hires CMO and EVP

New Business Hires at Zimmerman - Ryan Linder and Jeff McClelland

Zimmerman Advertising has made a double-hire.  The vacant Chief Marketing Officer post has been filled by Ryan Linder.  In addition, the Executive Vice President-Chief Integrations Officer position has been filled by Jeff McClelland.  Linder assumes his role as CMO due to former CMO Michael Goldberg leaving for Porter Novelli.  McClelland was a marketing consultant and former CEO of the formidable agency, Cliff Freeman & Partners.  Mirren was pleased to have Jeff at The Mirren New Business Conference where he represented his former agency and participated as one of our guest speakers. The pair will work together on business development at Zimmerman, which traditionally focuses on sectors like retail, sports, automotive and hospitality.
