Chiat President to Step In as Acting Creative Director

Just how many titles can Lee Clow collect? The president and chief creative director of the Venice ad agency Chiat/Day/Mojo is temporarily taking on an additional duty in the agency’s New York office. Clow will spend the next few weeks as “acting creative director” of the firm’s New York bureau.

The New York office lost its creative director, Bill Hamilton, who accepted a similar post at the ad agency Ogilvy & Mather. Hamilton had been creative director at Chiat/Day/Mojo since 1987.

Clow will be returning to the Los Angeles office in several weeks, a spokesman said. Meanwhile, the creative department at the New York office is expected to announce several major changes in the next few weeks, according to Jane Newman, president of the office.
