Good for Klick, man. they need a guy like Rich just like draft Fcb did years ago. He’ll likely benefit and bring success to Klick in the same way he did the Fcb network. He and Dana had a great partnership whatever transpired, both have a great amount to show for it.
Let’s face it - “Klicksters” knickname is the equivalent of an old dad joke or FSI that needs a desperate refresh. I can’t wait to see what’s next including the shade in this thread

If this is true, wow.

Can’t decide what’s weirder, Rich abruptly leaving FCB without a parachute, or Klick announcing his hiring on Fishbowl. So much backstory...

No one:

ECD: HEY KLICKSTERS...but don’t post this on social media!

FCB: uhhhh ok

So much mixed messaging in this post I can see why Rich is stepping in to help out. In the meantime we will try not to post the big news on social media and keep it under wraps while reading it on a forum for industry friends and colleagues

Hey Klicksters!

I just wanted to drop a little news on you for a Monday Morning - and not just any news, BIG NEWS. We have just hired a Chief Creative Officer for Klick. And not just any CCO, we went and got Rich Levy, who just happens to be one of the most awarded CCO's of all time.

Rich has made his mark on healthcare advertising over the past 13 years. He joins Klick after spending almost a decade as Chief Creative Officer of the FCB Health Network. Agencies under his supervision have won Most Creative Agency at the Manny Awards 8 times; Healthcare Network of the Year,#1 Health & Wellness Agency 2018 and Healthcare Agency of the Year 2017 at Cannes Lions Festival; Agency of the Year 2018 at The Clio Awards; Global and Regional Network of the Year at London International Awards; #1 Agency in the World at Advertising Health 2018; Agency of the Year at Creative Floor 2018; Agency of the Year at New York Festivals Global Awards 2018; Healthcare Network of the Year at New York Festivals Global Awards 2018 & 2017; and Healthcare Network of the Year at the Med Ad News Manny Awards, 2018. He was also named to MM&M’s and PR Week’s Health Influencer 50 list in 2018 and he served as Jury President for the 2018 Pharma Lions at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Most recently, Rich was inducted into the DTC Hall of Fame.

Before making his move to healthcare, Rich had a lengthy career in consumer advertising and his work has been honored by the Effies, Lions, One Show, Art Directors Club, Addys, and Clios. The “Can You Hear Me Now” campaign slogan he wrote for Verizon Wireless is in the Advertising Walk of Fame and his work for Canon is a part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.

While all of these are truly impressive accomplishments, Rich is one of the kindest, most optimistic and caring CCO's in the entire industry.

I hope you will all join me in making Rich feel welcome and supported as he joins our already impressive creative team. Rich's first day is May 1st and he will be in the NY office for his first week. The following week on May 6,7,8 he will be in Toronto where we will schedule a lunch & meet (stay tuned for details!). On May 9th he will be in Philly to meet everyone, then back full circle to NY on the 10th.

This is an exciting time for Klick as we continue to evolve and compete at the highest levels. I have never been more excited about our future.

Thanks for all your amazing effort and hard work. If you have any questions please let me know, I am here to chat if you want to!

Please resist the urge to share with industry friends and do not mention or post this to social media in any fashion. We’re planning a big press reveal, so this information is embargoed until Wednesday, May 1. Thanks for helping keep the news under wraps until then!

Thanks everyone!

Glenn Zujew
