ATLANTA-Two top creative staffers at FGI in Chapel Hill, N.C., were dismissed last Tuesday when management discovered they were planning to form their own creative shop in the same city.
Denzil Strickland and Jimmy Bonner, chief creative officer and creative director, respectively, at FGI, confirmed that they had left the shop and opened Garage, a “creative resource for clients and . . . large agencies.”
Strickland compared Garage to “our peers . . . Work, Core and Match, [which are] succeeding without being traditional ad agencies.”
Strickland would neither confirm nor deny reports from agency sources that he and Bonner were let go when FGI learned of their plans.
