Gerry Graf to depart Saatchi & Saatchi New York
April 20 2010, 8:52 am | | 4 Comments
Creativity reports that Saatchi & Saatchi CCO Gerry Graf has quit the agency to start his own agency venture mid year, when his contract expires. It’s a huge blow for Saatchi’s creative profile, which has been without a worldwide creative director since the abrupt departure of Australian Bob Isherwood, reported exclusively by CB in November 2008. Graf joined Saatchi in 2008 from TBWA Chiat Day New York, where he engineered that shop’s award-winning creative for Skittles, Starburst, Combos and more.
UPDATE: AdAge has confirmed that Con Williamson, the chief creative officer of Havas-owned Euro RSCG New York, is exiting to fill the role that Graf will be vacating.

So, what’s Bob up to these days?
First David Droga, then Craig Davis, Bob Isherwood, Tony Granger, Nobby, Mike O’Sullivan, Gerry Graf – how many more great creatives does Saatchi need to lose before Maurice Levy finally clicks where the problem lies?
You seem to know, 4:06, tell us.
Perhaps we could ask Kevin where the problem lies?
