CP+B Is Shrinking Its Los Angeles Office

CP+B’s Los Angeles division is reducing the amount of space occupied within its Santa Monica offices and moving into a smaller location within the same building, an agency spokesperson confirmed today.

The new, smaller footprint will also include the area that has been used to house its editorial studios.

“We love the space and location of the L.A. office, but it has actually always been bigger than we needed,” CP+B L.A. managing director Ryan Skubic explained. “We’re a collaborative culture that thrives on being close together, so we are paring down the space to fit our needs.”

The agency has declined to elaborate on the specific reasons for the move, though a source with direct knowledge of the matter claimed that it was intended “to make more efficient use of the space” and was not related to any loss of business.

The global Infiniti account had been headquartered in L.A. before the car brand moved those responsibilities to 72andSunny over the summer. CP+B retained the U.S. portion of the business, parts of which remain in L.A.

The office continues to work with clients like PayPal, and Hulu did appoint CP+B as its creative agency partner earlier this month.

Christie's: The Last da Vinci

Christie’s partnered with Droga5 to create a special project that would bring the world’s attention to the significance of what was happening – the sale of the last Leonardo da Vinci. “The Last da Vinci” was brought back into the public eye by sharing the emotional story of how the world responded to seeing this very private painting on public view.

We did this by focusing on what it is that makes the masterpiece a masterpiece. And what makes artworks like this so special. Rather than celebrate the image itself, we turned the camera around and captured the emotion of those who came to see it – in the most real and human way. The painting was placed on display and as the world looked on, Leonardo looked back. We showed exactly how breathtaking this work was by simply not showing it at all.

The end result? A moving film crafted from hidden camera footage that documents real emotional reactions of visitors and showed the impact this piece of art history has on us as we look upon it.

Hillary Clinton Reveals Another Thing Fox News Thinks Is Her Fault


Hillary Clinton popped up as a surprise participant in the recurring “Jokes Seth Can’t Tell” segment on last night’s “Late Night With Seth Meyers.” (She was also formally interviewed in another segment on the show; see below.) For most of the segment, which is based on the premise that “There are some jokes that just sound wrong coming from Seth,” it was just Meyers and his staff writers Amber Ruffin (who gets to tell the black jokes) and Jenny Hagel (who tells the lesbian jokes). But at the 2:55 mark, Clinton showed up to demonstrate that she somehow has a sense of humor about the fact that she continues to be a punching bag for conservative mediaa certain cable news network in particular.

Meyers set up the joke by reading a news item: “According to a recent report, koalas may be extinct by the year 2040.” At which point Clinton said, “And according to Fox News, that’s my fault.” (Your serve, Fox News. Surely the Clinton Foundation can be linked to the plight of the koala?)

By the way, at the start of Clinton’s sit-down with Meyers, he wished her a “Happy Unhappy Anniversary” (she lost the presidential election to Trump a year ago yesterday).
