After just seven months with Ammirati Puris Lintas, Brad Riddoch is moving to Cossette Communication-Marketing on April 14.

He takes over the creative director’s post vacated by Jack Neary, who left in January for BBDO Vancouver.

Riddoch, a copywriter, joined Ammirati last October as executive vice-president, co-creative director and partner for Doug Robinson.

He was executive vice-president, creative director at Bates Canada for two years before that and has also worked at MacLaren:Lintas (now MacLaren McCann), J. Walter Thompson and Creative Interchange.
