Publicis in Mid America has added two creative heavyweights to its Dallas team.
Mike Fazende, former executive creative director at DDB Dallas, and Richard Crispo, ex-vice president and creative director at DDB Chicago, will each hold the title of principal and creative director at Publicis.
Both executives will report to Ted Barton, the shop’s president of creative.
The pair represents two of three creative principals now at the agency. The other is Galen Greenwood, who joined Publicis last year.
The appointments could lead to a reorganization of the agency’s creative department locally, Barton conceded, although he declined to discuss specifics.
The department’s chain of command could also remain “status quo,” he said.
“These are guys that know what the hell they’re doing,” said Barton.
