Hasta La Creative!

Well, we’ve received a few tips about this over the last two days and a call to the agency came back with a reply that he wasn’t listed in the director. So, we can only draw our own conclusions for the time being on the status of Kevin Brown. Oh yeah, if you didn’t know, Brown has worked for 14 years at WPP-owned Mindshare/Team Detroit and most recently served as managing director for its media buying efforts, which called for him to oversee media efforts for clients including of course its most notable one, Ford.

We’ve yet to hear back from Team Detroit on Brown (surprise), but seemingly upset tipsters are telling us that he was “responsible for buying billion plus in media” (apparently about $1.5 billion annually) and that the exec was not the only one cut by the agency on the Ford media end. As we always say and try to do, we’ll let you know if and when we hear more on the matter.

Notice we said C+K, not C-K to clarify and reiterate. Anyhow, yes, six months after launching a rather peculiar, pre-Valentine’s Day spot (above) for Zoosk, San Francisco-based Camp + King has been officially named agency of record (minus review) for the online/mobile dating site. As the parties involved and YouTube stats can attest to, Havas-supported C+K’s spot for Zoosk has racked up over 14 million views since its launch. Regarding Zoosk’s decision to continue in its relationship with Camp+King,  the brand’s president/co-founder Alex Mehr says, “Zoosk is a young, energetic brand with big plans. We felt that the team at Camp+King mirrored these qualities and are as excited as we are about building our brand in the US and globally.”

This marks the first agency of record relationship for six-year-old Zoosk, which has been working on a project basis up until now. C+K, which also works with Old Navy and Capital One, will debut digital video for its newest client come July. Check out a more recent clip if you so choose after the jump.
