Ad Age announced Tim Nudd is joining the publication as editor of Creativity. 

A long-time writer and editor who has held roles at publications including Adweek and People Magazine, Nudd most recently served as the editor-in-chief of the Clio Awards, overseeing its Muse by Clio website and newsletter as founding editor. He also hosted its Tagline podcast, which launched in 2021.

“I'm thrilled to be joining Ad Age, a brand with such a strong legacy and voice in the industry,” Nudd said. “Creativity continues to evolve at lightning speed, and I'm excited to join the Ad Age team in exploring how all the new tools, platforms and strategies are modernizing the age-old art of persuasion.”

Formerly a resident of New York and now based just outside Portland, Maine,  Nudd has more than two decades of experience covering the advertising industry in various positions. He holds a bachelor’s degree in English from Washington University in St. Louis.

“We are thrilled to have Tim Nudd bring his vast experience covering creativity to Ad Age,” said Dan Peres, president and editor-in-chief of Ad Age. “His proven record of leadership will keep Ad Age as the premiere destination for both the business and creative of advertising and marketing as the industry rapidly evolves.” 

Nudd replaces Ann-Christine Diaz, an Ad Age veteran of more than 20 years who served as Creativity’s top editor from 2011 until October 2022, when she joined Interpublic Group of Cos.’ McCann Worldgroup as its senior VP, global director of creative excellence.

Nudd will join Ad Age on Jan. 13.
