Painter’s career spans 20 years in top markets throughout the U.S., working with top clients from Toyota to Nike, and earning awards from Cannes Lions, AICE Awards, and CLIO, along with an Emmy nomination.

He will also be available in the six other markets where Beast has offices (Santa Monica, NY, Austin, Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco).

    Billy Gabor, managing director of Deluxe Creative Services Atlanta, which encompasses local outposts of Beast, Company 3 and Method Studios, has known Painter for more than 15 years. “With Jason joining the Beast roster, the strength of Company 3 and Method under the same roof, plus the nationwide resources of Deluxe at our disposal, we’ve built an exceptional team here in Atlanta to support our clients in a way that no other local shop can,” said Gabor.

    Painter shared, “The expertise and connection across Beast, Company 3, and Method is unbelievable. It’s great to be able to take a project from start to finish with no compromises. I love how this facility has a boutique feel but the national resources to scale up for projects of any size. Plus with the seven Beast studios located in key cities across the country, it means that I can work seamlessly with my longtime clients who are spread out from coast to coast.”

    Linda Lavin, a Tony Award-winning stage actor who became a working class icon as a paper-hat wearing waitress on the TV sitcom "Alice," has died. She was 87.

    Lavin died in Los Angeles on Sunday of complications from recently discovered lung cancer, her representative, Bill Veloric, told The Associated Press in an email.

    Lavin soon went on to win a Tony for best actress in a play for Neil Simon's "Broadway Bound" in 1987.
