Neil Powell

JUNE 2009: Beattie McGuinness Bungay has hired Neil Powell, the former CCO of Margeotes Fertitta Powell, to take on the role of creative partner at its New York office.



Powell, who most recently ran We Are Gigantic (an agency formed from the merger between the MDC Partners-owned Margeotes Fertitta Powell and Kirshenbaum Bond & Partners), will take a stake in the business.



Powell, a graphic designer by trade, spent eight years at Fallon before setting up his own shop in 2000, which was sold to MDC in 2005, and later merged into Margeotes Fertitta & Partners.
