Today we confirmed that Karen Spiegel is now the former Global Chief Communications Officer at FCB (née draftFCB). She recently left the agency after replacing former EVP/GCCO Wally Peterson only nine months ago.

London-based Stephen Martincic, who has been SVP of communications for several years, is her replacement.

Spiegel is not moving to another agency: she’s launching her own consultancy.

She entered the agency world in 2001, beginning a 12-year stint with R/GA in which she achieved the title of SVP/Managing Director. Longtime readers may recall that Spiegel led former spy Matt Van Hoven on a tour of the shop’s Bauhaus-themed New York office and introduced him to its three-wheeled motorcycle way back in 2009.

No word on the details regarding Spiegel’s new venture; updates as we receive them.

Coluna do The New York Times, Modern Love é dedicada a histórias de amor, não apenas as românticas. Com as mudanças no site, o conteúdo em vídeo ganhou maior ênfase e os textos sobre relações contemporâneas ganharam versões animadas, abrindo espaço para animadores e ilustradores dispostos a participarem da seção.

Uma das animações mais recentes é Beyond Years, que leva a assinatura de Freddy Arenas. A trama conta a história de Tim e Sarah McEown, um casal que nunca viu os 22 anos de diferença entre os dois como um obstáculo. Até que ele sofreu um ataque do coração. Vale o play.

To get the audience’s heart rate pumping, the show opened with Tatiana Pilieva’s viral hit “Kiss” for fashion brand Wren, in which she threw together complete strangers and invited them to engage in deep lip locks. Among those who appeared in the film were Damian Kulash, lead singer of OK Go, who appeared at last year’s showcase and just released his band’s latest music video.

Other spots included The Sunday Times’ “Icons” ad, directed by Us for Grey London, which merged iconic cultural scenes from Rodin’s “The Thinker” to Don Draper in “Mad Men” in a single seamless in-camera shot, and Alvise Avati’s gorgeously effected space monster spec spot “Beans.”

Music videos in the show included Josh Cole’s gritty depiction of kids in Manila slums for Rudimental’s track “Not Giving In,” which juxtaposed incredible breakdancing with street violence, Truman Cooper’s angsty teen tale for Kid Wise’s “Hope” and Ian & Cooper’s dark family tale for Joel Compass’ “Back to Me.”
