30-year African-American advertising veteran shop Burrell Comunications announced today that they have hired Don Moore, formerly of Google, to launch their new digital service group Burrell Digital. You can read the full press release here.

I applaud Burrell for the hire and expansion into digital. A lot of Af-Am ad agencies pay digital a lot of lip service, but very few have actually invested in it. Burrell is bringing in a smart ad executive (I know, I spoke on a panel with Don) because they see the writing on the wall. Times are a changing, and multicultural ad shops are not immune!
