Though not a surprise, the departure of TBWA/Chiat/Day creative chief Eric McClellan comes as the agency is starting to develop campaigns for two big new clients: Barnes & Noble ($35 million) and Promus Hotel Corp. ($40 million).
McClellan, 38, the chief creative officer since 1996, is the third department head to exit the shop in the past year, after corporate media director Stacey Lippman and Andrew Chinich, director of broadcast production. Both have been replaced.
For now, agency network chiefs Bob Kuperman and Lee Clow will absorb McClellan’s duties.
