Seattle (PRWEB) September 22, 2008 -- Avenue A | Razorfish, one of the largest interactive marketing companies in the world, today named Jeff Lanctot as the agency's new chief strategy officer. Lanctot is also named for the second time in the 2nd annual MediaWeek 50, a list of the country's top media executives that was published today.

"In his nine years at Avenue A | Razorfish, Jeff has proven himself as a leader who has the vision and intellect needed for this key position," said Clark Kokich, CEO of Avenue A | Razorfish. "As one of the industry's foremost experts on critical media and marketing issues, he is ready to take the company to the next level globally."
In addition, Lanctot will remain the senior editor of the Avenue A | Razorfish Digital Outlook Report, a highly anticipated annual report on trends in digital spending and consumer behavior. He will also continue to share thought leadership through his blog at jefflanctot.com.
Lanctot is also listed in today's MEDIAWEEK 50, the 2nd annual list of top media innovators who, according to the magazine, drive revenue, establish standards, create new models and generate buzz.
