A top creative director from Omnicom shops has struck a deal with the competition to launch a new agency. On Tuesday, IPG announced that it's entering into a joint venture with Jimmy Smith, who has most recently been group creative director on the Gatorade account at TBWA/Chiat/Day.
Smith will be the chairman, CEO, and chief creative officer of the new marketing agency, Amusement Park Entertainment, which will be based in Los Angeles.
