DS+P, short for “dougserge and partners,” is two partners smaller today as Denise Rossetto and Todd Mackie have announced their departure.
The duo had led the creative team at the 40-person agency since February 2014 when they joined the rebranded DS+P from DDB Canada.
“We have left to pursue other opportunities,” said Mackie, in a statement. “We are very proud of what we accomplished over the past year with the DS+P team. We wish the whole team the very best.”
In an email to Marketing, agency founder Doug Robinson said, “I’ll miss them very much and thank them for their contributions (good talent can be hard to retain), but with change comes an opportunity for our brand to continue to draw the very best/brightest talent in North America. We’re looking at some very exciting options right now.”
Robinson told Marketing that he will be stepping in as interim creative director, with help from associate creative director Mike Jones.
Mackie and Rossetto’s departure comes a month after another partner, Serge Rancourt, left the agency.
