Young & Rubicam New York’s new chief creative officer, Jim Elliott, wasn’t looking for a new job when Y&R approached him several weeks ago. He had a killer gig as a group creative director at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners in San Francisco, working on Yahoo, Netflix, and Sonic and reporting to Jeff Goodby.

But the chance to run a department  in a market he had never worked in before seemed too good to pass up. Elliott, 44, who fills a vacancy left by the February exits of co-executive creative directors Scott Virtue and Ian Reichenthal, will start in June and report to worldwide CCO Tony Granger and New York president Jane Barratt.
