Making good on its promise to expand and deepen its resources, Leo Burnett has opened an agency in New York specializing in “urban culture” advertising and marketing.
The fledgling agency, Vigilante, is comprised of principals Marc Stephenson Strachan, formerly president of Middleman L.E., and Danny Robinson, formerly executive vice president and creative group head of Guild Group, both in New York. It opens with Schieffelin & Somerset’s Johnnie Walker Black–for which Burnett handles general marketing advertising–as its initial client.
“Our goal is to be an agency that specializes in urban culture,” Strachan said.
