BBDO has the greatest alumni network in the industry. The best of the best have left and
gone on to do amazing things in incredible roles. Everyone who tried to drive change at BBDO seems to be able to exceed on the outside. So I guess, let’s see. But I have seen a lot of amazing talent try to drive change prior to this hire. I hope it works this time. I have had a lot of hope for a long time and it never pans out. I miss the people the gave their heart and souls to this place that eventually had no choice but to give up. Hopefully she will get the support that the others before her weren’t given.

I think Jiah will be great for BBDO. She’s fun, very smart, but also no bullshit. She also had a long tenure at anomoly and brought many of her people to WK with her. Which indicates ppl like to work for her!

She didn’t have a that long of a run at WK but I’m sure that’s for a myriad of reasons - one being WKNY in my opinion is having a bit of an identity crisis. We’ve had a lot of leadership changes in the last three years alone.
