Today the Manhattan office of BBDO named Danilo Boer, formerly VP/senior creative director, as its first head of art and design.
The release tells us that the purpose of the newly-created role, which Boer assumes effectively immediately, will be “raising the level and quality of work across the board.”
Boer joined the agency’s New York team in 2009 after spending six years as an art director at AlmapBBDO in his native Brazil; the agency promoted him to CD in 2010 and again to VP/senior CD in 2012.
In his time with BBDO, Boer has worked on campaigns for clients such as Visa, Foot Locker, AT&T, Mountain Dew, and more. He also received awards from the ADC and Cannes Lions and served on the One Show jury.
Boer will report to New York CCO Greg Hahn and global CCO David Lubars. Lubars calls him “a great leader and talented as hell,” calling his promotion “a no brainer” while Hahn writes:
“He’ll be doing what he’s been doing since he started here – we’re just making it official.”
