POSSIBLE Promotes 4 to Creative Director Roles

WPP global digital agency POSSIBLE promoted four associate creative directors to creative director roles. Amy Vaughn, Margaret Russo, Sarah Knott and Ray Elfers will all now serve as creative directors in the agency’s Cincinnati office.

Vaughn currently serves as creative lead on POSSIBLE’s Folgers, Café Bustelo, Pilon, and Medaglia d’oro accounts. Prior to the promotion, she was an ACD at POSSIBLE for three years, previously leading the agency’s Gillette and Oral-B accounts and also working with Pantene, Olay and P&G Corporate. Before joining POSSIBLE she spent nearly two years as associate creative director with Enlighten in Ann Arbor, leading the agency’s John Frieda Hair Care, Biore, Jergens, Curel, and Ban accounts.

Russo joined POSSIBLE in November of 2007, working her way up from associate copywriter to her current role and serving as co-creative lead on the agency’s P&G business as an ACD.

Knott has spent the past two years as an associate creative director at POSSIBLE following a copy director position with LEAP Digital in Cincinnati and an earlier stint in the same role at POSSIBLE.

Elfers joined POSSIBLE as an art director, interaction design in July of 2010 and received a promotion to associate creative director in February of 2012. Prior to joining POSSIBLE he spent eight years as a creative director with Systems Insight in Cincinnati.

“At POSSIBLE we are committed to growing our people and our diverse talent. This team represents the pinnacle of creative talent,” said Cincinnati executive creative director Adam Kahn. “With these new appointments we will continue to provide our clients with world class work.”

The appointments follow Newell Brands selecting the agency to lead its web strategy last week, as well as the appointment of Pablo Marques as executive creative director of its London office back in January.

Newell Brands Chooses POSSIBLE to Lead Web Strategy

Newell Brands Inc. appointed global digital agency POSSIBLE to lead its online strategy.

The agency will be tasked with designing a digital experience that creates global consistency while also staying true to individual brands such as Paper Mate, Sharpie and Graco. POSSIBLE has already begun working on the initial phase of the effort, with the creation of initial brand sites.

“We are honoured to work with Newell Brands to help create a world-class experience that connects with consumers,” POSSIBLE president, Americas Jason Burby said in a statement. “We are passionate about delivering digital products that make a measurable difference. Combining high-consideration baby products from a brand like Graco with high-volume brands like Sharpie or PaperMate is a fantastic challenge.”

The appointment follows Newell Brands transferring global creative duties for brands including Rubbermaid, Sharpie, Paper Mate, Calphalon, Irwin and Lenox from BBH to J. Walter Thompson New York without a review back in May. According to Kantar Media, Newell Brands spent around $91.6 million on measured media last year.

POSSIBLE Appoints Daniel Chu as Global CCO

Creative agency POSSIBLE announced the appointment of Daniel Chu as global chief creative officer, based out of the agency’s Los Angeles office.

Chu arrives from Deutsch L.A., where he spent the last four years as executive vice president, executive creative director while working with clients including Taco Bell, Volkswagen, Sprint, Snapple and Target and leading the agency’s experiential department. Before joining Deutsch, he served as senior vice president, executive creative director for over two and a half years at Momentum Worldwide, co-leading the agency’s branded entertainment discipline and working with clients such as American Express, Microsoft and Verizon. Prior to that he spent nearly two years as an executive creative director PMK/HBH, which followed a year-long stint at R/GA as an associate creative director.

“I’m thrilled to have Daniel on-board. His ideas are dynamite and he’ll be a huge asset for us, helping to strengthen and align creative across the agency,” said POSSIBLE CEO Shane Atchison. “He has great form when it comes to landing new accounts and he proudly represented POSSIBLE at Cannes.  Daniel brings with him a wealth of experience virtually unparalleled in our industry.”

Shell Names POSSIBLE its Global Digital Agency

1105px-Shell_logoDigital agency POSSIBLE announced today that it has been named global digital agency for Shell, following a competitive review which included four other agencies. Efforts for Shell, beginning with corporate brand work, will be led by POSSIBLE’s London office. A “major launch” is expected from the agency some time in early 2015.

Shell is trying to present itself as an energy company with an “ongoing commitment to meet global energy demand in a responsible way,” despite a track record that suggests otherwise (to put it mildly). This past October, Lego ended its longtime partnership with Shell following a successful Greenpeace campaign. So repairing Shell’s image will be no small task. Still, in a press release POSSIBLE Global CEO Shane Atchison referred to the company as “the ideal client, both innovative in their approach to energy and global client reach and scale.”

“We selected POSSIBLE because they are a forward looking agency partner that can collaborate with us on new ways to reach our customer audience,” said Malena Cutuli, global dead of brand communications and capability at Shell. “They are uniquely positioned to help us engage in this fast moving, socially connected global world that we live in with offices worldwide and core strength in the digital space.”
