Wieden + Kennedy New York managing director Buz Sawyer is exiting the agency he has called home for much of the last 20 years.

As managing director, Sawyer had led the office since 2001. Its top clients include ESPN, Disney, Nike and Delta Air Lines. Roughly 190 staffers work at the shop, including about 35 in media planning and buying.

Wieden is searching for Sawyer’s successor and will consider both internal and external candidates, according to an agency representative.
