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.
