Nashville-based MP&F hires Vince Skyers as its first ever executive creative director. Skyers was most recently creative director at SmileDirectClub, leading the creative packaging and on-shelf merchandising for the company’s oral care line. He has led design and branding efforts for Sony and Condé Nast’s suite of properties including Allure, Brides Magazine and Details Magazine. In his first 90 days at MP&F, Skyers plans to nurture creative teams through a collective he launched dubbed the Creative Council—a first for the agency. The council, composed of senior creative leadership, sets out to collaborate on topics of creative innovation, process efficiencies, conceptual design and more. “Vince’s vast experience is bringing a new skill set to MP&F,” said Mary Elizabeth Davis, MP&F partner and co-owner. “We are eager to continue growing our capabilities and expanding what we bring to the table for our clients in the way of creative storytelling.”
