Agency Brief: The Curious Case of Wendy Clark
Posted in: Uncategorized
Rumors began bubbling up last month on Fishbowl that DDB had tapped former Droga5 Chief Creative Officer Ted Royer who left Droga5 amid an internal investigation in February to assist on its creative pitch for Volkswagen. No specific charges were levied, but Droga5 at the time cited the need for an inclusive environment.
Then on Wednesday, Adweek reported that Royer was indeed tapped to work on the DDB pitch this summer. According to the Adweek story, the publication intially approached DDB Global CEO Wendy Clark for confirmation of the Royer rumors in September and was told by Clark that there had been “no consideration to having Ted at DDB/NY.” When pressed further, Clark said the “same answer stands for the pitch,” according to Adweek.
When its reporting indicated otherwise, Adweek contacted Clark again on Wednesday, it said, and she did not respond to requests for comment.
