Peter Lanyon has taken the first few weeks in his new job as president of MacLaren: Lintas of Toronto to restructure the agency’s creative department.

Lanyon says he has put together new creative teams and will be instituting a group system with more than one team under a group creative director.

Brad Riddoch, acting creative director for MacLaren:Lintas until moving to the position of creative director of Bates Canada this month, will not be replaced although Lanyon says there are other senior and intermediate creative spots to fill in the department.
