Dale Brown is stepping down as president and chief executive officer of Sive/Young & Rubicam in Cincinnati to try her hand at creative writing.
Taking over as president and CEO is Michael Kitei, who has been with the shop for nearly 20 years, most recently as executive vice president. He becomes only the fourth CEO in the agency’s 60 years.
Brown termed her departure from advertising a “sabbatical,” leaving open the option she might return to the industry, although probably not to Sive.
“I don’t know if I’ll like the creative writing I’m going to do,” Brown said.
