JWT ATL Alum Wettstein One of Handful to Join CP+B Miami

It’s been a few months since we’ve heard the name Tim Wettstein, who last we recall spent approximately a year as senior partner/group creative director on Scana, Jiffy Lube and Xbox among others at JWT Atlanta. Well, the senior creative didn’t have to travel too far to take on a new gig as Wettstein (pictured) has now assumed a CD role at CP+B Miami, which appears to be ramping up its creative staff currently led by ECD, Bob Winter.

Joining Wettstein as a creative director at CP+B Miami is Kostas Karanikolas, who spent the last year as digital CD at BBDO New York, where worked on Gillette among other accounts. Along with the new CDs, MDC-owned CP+B has added associate creative directors Rick Abbott and Matt Orser, formerly of RP& and RPA, respectively, in its South Florida office, as well as art director Eli Perez de Gracia, and copywriter, Elena Romeu.

Wettstein Out at JWT ATL

We’ve received confirmation that Tim Wettstein, who has been with JWT’s Atlanta office for just a year, is no longer with the agency. During his brief stint at the agency, where he most recently served as senior partner/group creative director, Wettstein served as GCD on efforts including Scana Energy’s “Affairs of the Flame” campaign as well as work for Jiffy Lube, XBOX and Gillette. Prior to JWT, Wettstein spent four years at BBDO New York, where he worked with brands including PETA and Autism Speaks. Here’s one example of his work for the former client here.

Above, you’ll see Wettstein to your left along with JWT ATL CCO Perry Fair and Dana Markee, the last of whom was cut last summer. We’re hearing they were among Fair’s first new hires when he took over as president/CCO at JWT’s Atlanta/Dallas/Houston offices in 2011.
