Winds of change at Cyclone Design Communications
After celebrating its 25th year of operations with a big party last September, the Cyclone Design Communications team is delighted with the new chapter that is opening up with the arrival of Kim Peters as a partner to take over the agency's artistic direction. "It is with great honour and pride that I embark on a new phase in my professional life," says Kim Peters. "After more than 20 years working in an agency as a graphic designer, designer, studio manager and senior designer, I continue my career as a partner in an exceptional agency that I value highly, with motivated and inspiring partners and a dedicated and extremely talented team."
Throughout CDC's 25-year history, transitions have always been well planned to ensure business continuity. With each transition, the arrival of new faces in management has allowed the agency to evolve and adapt to the market, which is a major reason for its success over the past two decades. "When she joined CDC four years ago, Kim's track record was already impressive. Her contribution to developing the team and becoming a key person was quickly noticed and to see her take on the role of partner today is just natural," says Benjamin Trépanier, Senior Partner.
Kim succeeds Benoit Marion as Associate Artistic Director. Marion celebrated 20 years with CDC in the spring and is now handing over the reins with a sense of accomplishment, while remaining active within the agency. "I love the dynamism of this company, which always allows us to move forward and surpass ourselves creatively," explains Benoit Marion. "I hand over the reins to Kim, knowing that her talent, her passion, her creativity and her entrepreneurial audacity will take CDC to new heights! I would also like to highlight the thoroughness, commitment and good humour of Laure, who ensures excellent follow-up, as well as the flair and craziness of Benjamin, who is without a doubt the most rallying businessman I have ever met."
In the wake of this transaction, Laure Marcus, Partner and Production Director for more than 4 years within the company, reaffirms her commitment by becoming more involved in CDC's shareholding: "Cyclone is now an agency that is more relevant than ever, with a great team of people with complementary expertise. It is with great pleasure that I commit myself to this exciting adventure!" Since her arrival, Laure has transformed the agency at an operational level. The impact of her work on the company has been significant over the last few years and this second stage of investment was desired and planned.
The next chapters of Cyclone Design Communications will be written with a new experienced trio at the helm, chapters that will unfold in an economic context that demands us to remain creative, innovative and vigilant.
