NEW YORK Dentsu America confirmed that CCO, evp Mike Wilson has left the agency. He had joined the shop in December 2006.
The former Ogilvy & Mather group creative director was positioned by the agency as a key player, brought in to help build a stronger U.S. presence for the Japanese advertising giant. Dentsu has struggled to gain a foothold since its domestic market entry in 1966.
Wilson could not be reached for comment. In a statement, Dentsu America offered a terse explanation, saying Wilson “departed the agency amicably after serving two-and-a-half years as chief creative officer, based on a mutual decision to pursue different directions.”
