Pollak Levitt Has A New Name, Partner In Nel

Co-founder Chaiet Retires; Austin, Freund Gain Stakes in Agency
ATLANTA–Creative director Andrƒ Nel, who moved to Pollak Levitt Chaiet here from The Richards Group in Dallas almost two years ago, today celebrates not only his 44th birthday, but the addition of his name to the agency’s door.
The growing 10-year-old Atlanta shop is now known as Pollak Levitt & Nel. The name change reflects Nel’s partnership as well as the retirement of co-founder Al Chaiet.
Nel’s “overall creative contributions and the importance of creative to the agency” inspired the decision, said Pollak Levitt & Nel (PL&N) president and chief executive officer Jim Pollak.
At the time Nel arrived at PL&N, the South African native saw the move as an opportunity “to come in and put [my] stamp on the place.”
