McCambley Returns to Digitas

Joe McCambley has returned to Digitas as global chief creative officer. The appointment makes McCambley the leading creative executive at the region’s largest marketing company, which claims American Express, Ann Taylor, AT&T, Terra Lycos and Xerox among its worldwide clients.

McCambley will oversees all creative development for Boston-based Digitas, succeding Greg Johnson, who late last year was given the new title evp/global client delivery. McCambley now reports to Johnson.

The appointment marks a homecoming for McCambley, who served as copywriter for Digitas precursor Bronner Slosberg Humphrey from 1989 to 1994, working under former chief creative officer Mike Slosberg.

“To come back and fill Mike Slosberg’s role is very gratifying,” McCambley said, “It was hard to say no; it’s a dream job.”

Digitas, publicly traded on the Nasdaq exchange, employs nearly 2,000 people in offices in Boston, New York, Miami, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, London and Hong Kong.
