Q&A: Con Williamson, CCO, Saatchi N.Y.

Con Williamson likes a noisy agency. To him, it’s a sign of staffers freely speaking their minds and sharing ideas. Williamson will seek to create that environment at the New York headquarters of Saatchi & Saatchi, where he is succeeding Gerry Graf as chief creative officer. The 41-year-old South Carolina native and former Army paratrooper, in an interview with senior reporter Andrew McMains, also discussed his favorite ads, biggest pet peeve and what he learned from Pat Fallon and Jamie Barrett, his boss at the New York office of Fallon from 2000-01.
