Deutsch Goes on a Hiring Binge

Handling two new major creative assignments—Burger King and Coors Light—and a growing Mitsubishi account, Deutsch/LA is bucking the trend in the West and filling dozens of new positions. New hires so far include three group account directors and a media director, the agency said.

“This is really a testimony to the way we have grown, particularly over the past few months,” said Mike Sheldon, managing partner and general manager, who said the shop has created 55 new positions and filled more than half of them.
