Goodby Pair Head Crosstown For Leagas

By Joan Voight





SAN FRANCISCO–Two key creative executives are leaving Goodby, Silverstein & Partners to join Leagas Delaney’s San Francisco office.





Associate creative director Harry Cocciolo, hired as the first creative director of Leagas Delaney in San Francisco, starts this week. Cocciolo, 33, will head the year-old Leagas office, reporting directly to agency headquarters in London, according to Tim Delaney, a principal of the shop.





Cocciolo’s partner, associate creative director Sean Ehringer, 36, will join the Leagas office as chief of the art department, said Delaney.





Since 1992, Cocciolo has worked at Goodby, Silverstein and contributed to the award-winning ‘Got Milk?’ campaign as well as to executions for clients such as Budweiser, Polaroid and Sega.





After a lengthy search, Leagas selected Cocciolo ‘for the breadth and quality of his work,’ Delaney said.
