Dentsu Creative CCO Fred Levron set to depart

Dentsu Creative Global Chief Creative Officer Fred Levron is set “to depart by mutual agreement,” according to Dentsu International, nearly 10 months after the holding company joined its creative agencies into one entity. “During his tenure as Dentsu’s global chief creative officer (excluding Japan), Fred developed and launched Dentsu Creative to the market, bringing together Dentsu’s global creative efforts under one roof, and led the organization to a very successful showing at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity,” the company said in a statement. “Creative remains a critical cornerstone of our strategic vision for Dentsu. We thank Fred for his energy and commitment to the transformation of Dentsu Creative and wish him success in his next challenge.” Levron’s transition is believed to be effective mid-April. The company did not discuss plans for a successor. Levron could not immediately be reached for comment.
