ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI), a global consulting and digital services provider, today announced expanded roles for key leaders within ICF Olson, the company’s marketing, technology and communications agency. 

Bryan Specht, president of ICF Olson’s award-winning PR and social agency, Olson Engage, now also assumes leadership of the agency’s brand work. In this expanded role, Specht ensures the agency's engagement and brand teams continue to work in partnership with ICF Olson’s other practice areas to offer compelling solutions to customers. 

Additionally, Guy Cierzan, managing director for ICF Olson’s market-leading loyalty and customer relationship management (CRM) division, Olson 1to1, now also serves as managing director of the agency’s Minneapolis office.
