Local advertising creative behind anti-Chicago 2016 bid Web site

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
The secret is out. Longtime Chicago advertising creative Kevin Lynch is the brain behind ChicagoansForRio.com, the Chicago Olympic bid naysayer Web site that has been the subject of numerous media reports in recent days.

Since June, Lynch has been the top creative at Proximity, the digital advertising arm of Energy BBDO/Chicago, whose clients include Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co and the Illinois Lottery. Prior to joining Proximity, Lynch was for many years a top creative at Hadrian's Wall/Chicago, which was bought out by a Toronto ad agency and rebranded as Zig/Chicago.
No word yet from Chicago Alderman Burke on this subject.
