With the news from New York that John Doyle has joined McCann Erickson as executive creative director. It would seem to reinforce my contention that McCann is the only part of that whole IPG mess that has its act together. Having worked with John at O&M in the nineties I can tell you he’s one of the best Creative people around. Apparently Doyle, will be spearheading the development of the New York offices Design and Brand Innovation Group, which is envisioned as a five-member team that will boost its design capabilities. Doyle would work on new business, as well as on accounts like MasterCard, ExxonMobil and Intel. Among many great campaigns John has been responsible for, while at Publicis & Hal Riney in San Francisco he created the Emmy-nominated launch campaign for the first electric car, GM's EV1. Beautiful stuff! John does have a reputation for leaping around a bit. It will be interesting to see how long he manages to stick with the IPG fiasco.
Not your average Hummer!
