The new position marks a return to Chicago for the copywriter. Prior to joining Publicis West in February 2007, where he worked on T-Mobile and the Washington Lottery, Fietsam was a creative director at DDB Chicago on Bud Light, helping to shape Super Bowl spots such as last year’s “Hitchhiker” and “Wedding Auctioneers,” among many others.
