Boston, Ma: To support Arnold’s strategy to be a global creative micro network, the advertising and marketing agency has announced that Nick Dutton has joined Arnold as managing partner, global network. In his new role, Dutton will work to further strengthen the agency’s core capabilities outside of the United States. He will report to Arnold Global CEO Andrew Benett.
