After various Big Apple-based copywriting stints at Ogilvy, R/GA and most recently Mother, Ben Hughes is remaining local and joining Wieden + Kennedy, New York as CD on the Delta account. Right on time for the discount wars.

Hughes, who is set to start after the holiday weekend, will also handle new business affairs at W+K. While his resume touts a range of client work from Dell to Stella Artois to Verizon throughout his agency travels, Hughes has also been dabbling in a little arts & entertainment as a scribe for Esquire.
