We’ve received confirmation that Martin Agency CCO John Norman has promoted group creative director Joe Alexander to ECD. Alexander has been with Martin for nearly two decades (!), working on accounts including Wal-Mart (most recently, the popular Yodeling Cat holiday effort) as well as the American Cancer Society and the JFK Presidential Library and Museum.  In addition, this week, the Martin Agency launched an in-house project led by Alexander that’s aimed at helping a fellow employee who’s battling cancer.

Prior to Martin, Alexander had a brief stint as a creative director at TBWA\Chiat\Day and held copywriting jobs at the likes of Campbell Mithun early on in his career.
