Andreas Dahlqvist Joins Grey NY as CCO
Posted in: Uncategorized
Wunderman isn’t the only New York agency to name a new chief creative officer today. This morning, principals at Grey NY announced the hiring of Andreas Dahlqvist.
Dahlqvist, who founded DDB Stockholm in 2004 and served as ECD/managing partner there for several years, most recently held the titles of vice chairman, McCann New York and deputy global CCO for brands within the larger McCann organization, which he joined in 2011.
He also served as global CCO at the GM-focused Commonwealth//McCann, and his name appears atop all of that agency’s latest campaigns. His most memorable AgencySpy appearance to date occurred as part of the dress-alike project “Partnerganger,” which may or may not have been inspired by the Ogilvy tumblr “Work Twinsies.”
The release tells us that the new CCO, who has won “every major creative award,” will oversee Grey’s entire 500-strong creative department. President/Worldwide CCO Tor Myhren writes:
“Few people in this industry have done what Andreas has…started his own agency from scratch and built it into the best digital agency on the planet.”
Dahlqvist will report to/work closely with Myrhen and North American CEO Michael Houston.
Memo from those two after the jump.
