DeVito Verdi was once a scrappy independent NYC shop known for its namesake creative partner, Sal DeVito.

Sal was a longtime instructor at SVA and taught at least a couple of generations of ad students (including me).

Everybody that took his class has a Sal story. He was a merciless critic of lazy thinking.

DeVito Verdi were small but consistently got attention in awards annuals by making work with a provocative attitude.

I believe Sal is semiretired now and the agency is still going but it’s sorta like Sabbath without Ozzy. Capable of rocking but lacking in madness.

Many great oldschool creatives did time there. Sal DeVito has a reputation for being a TOUGH creative director.

I think I am about to be going through a divorce. My husband and I have been "in the thick of it" for almost a year and the last couple weeks have shown me that things are not getting better. I think I'm at the end of my rope. I was having concerns 3 yrs ago, but really was able to confront issues this year. We've been married for 6 years, together 9, and have a 2 year old. I'm 30 years old. My family isn't super supportive. I'm nervous, scared, worried, all the things.
