Doe-Anderson's Top Creative Embraces Freedom

After CME, White Returns to Louisville and an Independent Shop
ATLANTA–Two months after finding himself the odd man out at Campbell Mithun Esty, Jim White has landed back in bluegrass country.
Last week, White was named chief creative officer and senior vice president at Doe-Anderson Advertising and Public Relations in Louisville, Ky. White, 41, previously held the CCO position at CME, Minneapolis, which experienced remarkable growth during his tenure. In his 15 months there, the agency added almost $300 million in billings through heavyweights such as AirTouch and Alberto Culver.
At the IPG-owned agency, White was the hand-picked choice of chief executive Howard Liszt, but became a casualty when control of the shop was centralized under chairman Bill Dunlap.
