DDB Montreal has named Sann Sava as its new executive creative director.

Sava will lead DDB’s creative department in Montreal, steering the direction of the product for local, national and global clients.

Previously a freelance copywriter and creative director in Montreal, Sava has previously contributed to work at agencies including Lg2, BBDO Montreal, Publicis and DentsuBos, and much of her work in recent years has been on digital and web projects. She’s worked with clients including Desjardins, Metro, National Bank, L’Oreal and Fido, and her work has been recognized with awards at Crea and the CASSIES.

Sava was actually brought in to lead DDB Montreal’s creative department on an interim basis back in May. That was when Etienne Bastien, previously VP and creative director for the office, left the agency to take over as CCO for Ogilvy Montreal.
