Jiah Choi and Nancy Reyes, CEO of BBDO for the Americas
BBDO announced that Jiah Choi will join the agency as CEO of BBDO New York and Energy BBDO in Chicago.
“BBDO NY and Energy BBDO are powerful creative agencies in their own right. Each agency has strong complementary capabilities and talent, which is why they work so well together today across our shared clients. Bringing Jiah on board as a single leader in New York and Energy will help us continue to accelerate growth and amplify shared capabilities for our client partners,” said Nancy Reyes, CEO of BBDO for the Americas.
The decision marks one of the most significant hires Reyes has made since joining BBDO last September.
“Jiah is a badass leader who truly loves our business. From building world class creative agencies, to leading integrated marketing content on the client-side at Coca Cola, her combination of creative and business acumen is special. She is the perfect person to lead our teams in both New York and Chicago,” said Reyes.
Choi spent the past two years as President of Wieden+Kennedy New York, which holds a special place in her heart. “The magic at W+K is real, and I am eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such an incredible group of people.”
Prior to her time at W+K, Choi helped start the Los Angeles office of Anomaly, rising to the rank of CEO and establishing client relationships with Uber Eats, Facebook, Allbirds, Diet Coke, and The Los Angeles Rams. She also previously spent time at The Coca-Cola Company leading content and creative on brands such as Sprite and vitaminwater.
“I’m so excited about the opportunity to help BBDO NY and Energy BBDO build on their momentum of change. BBDO has a legacy of excellence and what a privilege it is that we have the opportunity to deliver on that together,” said Choi.
