Says Creativity on on DDB New York:
"A new creative hot shop came onto the scene in 2012, even though it's
been around for 64 years. DDB New York might be one of the old timers in
the industry, but its exciting output over the past twelve months makes
us eager to see what more it has to offer in 2013. Under the leadership
of new chief creative officer, Matt Eastwood and ECDs Menno Kluin,
Janet Guillet and Joseph Cianciotto, the agency has turned out a series
of standout moves on a variety of platforms."As has been the case over the last several years, Creativity also included majority Aussie-owned Droga5, New York (above left), which won its 2011 Agency of the Year title, in its 2012 Agency A-List.
Creativity owner Ad Age ranked Droga5 #5 on its A-List, just behind #4 placed R/GA, New York, whose global chief creative officer is Aussie expat Nick Law (left).
