Independent agency Kastner & Partners has appointed former TBWA\Media Arts Lab and 72andsunny Creative Director Jamie Reilly to lead the creative team in their Los Angeles office as Chief Creative Officer.

The appointment follows the recent promotion of Richard Turner to Managing Director of the Agency. Reilly is tasked with elevating the creative work, and working closely with Turner to direct new business efforts.

Turner has been focused on growing both the client base and creative team, and recruited Reilly to lead the agency’s creative work.

Reilly was most recently at MDC Partners' 72andSunny working on Target, Samsung, and Google. Earlier he spent more than eight years with Omnicom's TBWA\MAL working on Apple’s iPod, Mac, iPhone, and iPad advertising.

Kastner clients include Red Bull, Adidas Golf and OtterBox.

Of the hire, Turner said that Reilly’s “experience creating iconic campaigns that engage audiences from every corner of the world demonstrates that he will be a great fit here, and bring even greater creative strength to the agency.”
