Over the last several months, publishing giant Condé Nast (Vogue, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Wired, GQ, etc.) has rebranded its in-house agency CNX and strengthened that division by hiring top talent away from old-school ad shops.

Former TBWA\Chiat\Day L.A. chief innovation officer John Deschner became managing director of the newly renamed unit last November, and today the company announced that it has hired Xavier Teo and Brendon Volpe as executive creative director and head of strategy. Both will report to Deschner, and all three share a connection to Deutsch, where they worked together in the early part of this decade.

Deschner described CNX as “a full integration” of “built-for-purpose content agency” 23 Stories and Pop2Life, an experiential shop acquired by Condé Nast in 2017.
