Six weeks after BBDO Atlanta officially parted ways with Bobby Pearce and revamped its creative leadership, the aforementioned former chief creative officer has a found a new job as, yes, CCO/partner at fellow ATL agency, Van Winkle & Associates. We’re not sure if this is the “entrepreneurial endeavor” that BBDO was referring to when explaining Pearce’s reason for leaving, but regardless, the new Van Winkle creative boss does get a marquee spot on the mid-sized shop’s homepage.

Prior to his two-and-a-half year stint as CCO at BBDO Atlanta (where he spent three-and-a-half years in total), Pearce has held senior creative posts at the likes of WestWayne (now 22squared), Fallon and Goodby and co-founder his own agency, Damman Pearce.
