Today 180LA announced that longtime chief creative officer and managing partner Willam Gelner (pictured) will be leaving the agency at the end of the month after more than a decade.

“William has been an amazing partner and has continuously raised the caliber of 180’s work since helping start up the L.A. office over 10 years ago,” 180 global CEO Michael Allen told Adweek. “We wish him nothing but the best in whatever he chooses to do next.”

Before joining 180LA as a partner and executive creative director back in 2007, Gelner was a group creative director with BBH New York for five years. After joining the agency, he was quickly promoted to the chief creative officer role.

Going forward, executive creative director Eduardo Marques will take on creative duties in the Los Angeles office..

The move is part of a broader restructuring at the agency. Marques arrived at the agency from Pereira & O’Dell, along with Rizutto, back in 2015.

Al Moseley will take on global chief creative director duties and overseeing the agency’s Los Angeles and Amsterdam offices out of L.A. Mosely served as president and chief creative officer of 180 Amsterdam, which merged with Kingsday to form 180 Kingsday back in June.

“William has done a great job of laying the groundwork as we enter this next phase of growth and we wish him the best,” Moseley said in a statement. “I’m excited to be part of this new chapter with Eduardo at the creative helm of the office. His energy and creativity are second to none.”

In August, executive creative director Rafael Rizuto also announced that he’d be leaving the agency. The announcement followed the departure of executive strategy director Kasi Bruno in May. This spring the agency also left behind its former Santa Monica office for a new one in Playa Vista.
