Sources familiar with the matter have confirmed that JWT New York ECD Wayne Best is leaving the agency to pursue a new creative partnership, though specifics weren’t given.

In 2008, AS alum Superspy discovered that Best joined JWT after wondering where in the world he was for months. Prior to JWT, Best was an executive creative director at Taxi and also served as a CD at Fallon during his career. While at JWT, Best served as ECD on campaigns for JetBlue and Halls (a holiday campaign for the latter got some reaction to say the least).
