BBDO promotes, hires within creative department

Toronto-based BBDO Canada has added some award-winning new talent to its creative department.

Roger Harris, president and executive producer of Jungle Music Productions, has been lured to the new post of director of broadcast production.

Art director Scott Dube and copywriter Zak Mroueh have joined the agency as associate creative directors.

Dube comes from Roche Macaulay & Partners where he has been working on Ikea for the past four years.

Mroueh returns to bbdo, where he had worked on Polaroid and Chrysler, after a two-year term at McCann-Erickson, u.k.

The restructuring of the department has resulted in a new lineup of group creative directors: Stephen Creet, Michael McLaughlin, Neil McOstrich, Mike Smith, Steve Denvir and Bob Hawton.

Creet and McLaughlin have also been promoted to the executive vice-president level, while Smith has been made senior vice-president.

With the addition of Dube and Mroueh, the group of associate creative directors includes the senior creative team of David Crichton and Graham Lee (who moved from Roche Macaulay in May), plus Randy Diplock, Richard Williams and Bob Glynn.

Maureen Chan-Lay has been promoted to creative manager of the department.
