Another leading creative light of the ad industry has begun his final extended bow.

Less than three months after TBWA\Chiat\Day legend Lee Clow announced that he would be stepping away from the main stage, Leo Burnett executive chairman Mark Tutssel confirmed that he will also soon retire after 34 years with the agency.

Like Clow, Tutssel leaves behind a career spanning decades and thousands of campaigns and awards, including more than 600 Cannes Lions.

Tutssel was first to hold the executive chairman position since the agency’s namesake himself, and it is unclear whether he will have a direct successor.
