ATLANTA Mullen executive creative director Denzil Strickland has left the agency.
Strickland, reached at home, said he resigned from the Winston-Salem, N.C., Interpublic Group office almost a week ago.
One source called Strickland’s sudden departure “involuntary” and attributed the break to a lack of chemistry between the creative director and the shop’s president and CEO, John Fitzgerald.
Strickland, 49, joined the agency in early 2001 following then Long Haymes Carr’s IPG-mandated consolidation with Wenham, Mass.-based Mullen.
The pair led Mullen’s successful effort in retaining Wachovia’s $75 million business a year ago.
