In a surprising overhaul of its leadership, Saatchi & Saatchi New York has parted with both its CEO Brent Smart and its chief creative officer Jay Benjamin. Both will leave the agency, effective Sept. 1.

The two will be replaced by president Andrea Diquez and Javier Campopiano, who had been president of Saatchi & Saatchi New York and chief creative officer of Saatchi & Saatchi Latin America, respectively.

"Jay and I started this journey of reinventing Saatchi New York together as partners, and we've decided to finish as partners, as we both leave the agency to pursue other opportunities," Smart said in a statement.
