Jason Nichols Quits Chiat LA

Just five months after joining Chiat LA as interactive CD on Pepsi, sources have confirmed that Jason Nichols has left the agency, continuing the quick turnover trend that’s seemingly plagued the agency throughout this year.

Nichols, who worked as a copy director at R/GA on Nike and Nokia prior to joining Chiat, is rumored to be “headed to Austin to start his own shop” according to a tipster–though that is still unsubstantiated. In addition, we’re hearing that Nichols quit the same time as another Pepsi CD, Joe Shands.
