We Hear: GSD&M Alums Start New Agency

By Kiran Aditham 

The rumor mill keeps churning like butter today as the Spy line tells us that three ex-GSD&M-ers—Jonathan Silverstein, John Trahar and Karen Jacobs-who we’ve been told have “all left at earlier times this year,” have started a new agency. Silverstein spent eight years at GSD&M as SVP, group account director, Trahar racked up 14 years of tenure and eventually served as SVP/GCD and Jacobs logged in six as SVP, head of production. Our tipsters’ claims that they may have poached clients from their former employer remain unfounded at this point. Maybe Jacobs’ LinkedIn status (above) gives us a clue (but not really).
