The Argentinian Pablo del Campo, since 2014 Global Chief Creative officer (CCO) of Saatchi & Saatchi has stepped down from this position with immediate effect.
The world acclaimed creative leaves the agency after nearly 20 years working for Saatchi & Saatchi.
Kate Stanners (Chief Creative Officer at Saatchi & Saatchi London) is promoted to Global CCO succeeding Pablo del Campo in this position. Stanners adds the Global responsibility to her current role.
20 years at Saatchi & Saatchi
One of the world’s most awarded and innovative creative leaders in communications and advertising, Pablo del campo founded Del Campo Saatchi & Saatchi in Argentina in 2000 and Del Campo Saatchi & Saatchi Spain in 2012.
He was the Regional Creative Director of Saatchi & Saatchi Latin America for seven years.
Pablo del Campo and his teams have won 69 Cannes Lions, 53 Clio awards, 250 Ibero American Advertising Festival awards, and have been honoured as AdAge International Agency of the Year.
The agency has consistently placed in the Top 10 agencies of the Gunn Report over the last 10 years, the number one agency in Argentina for the last nine years, and Best Agency in Latin America for the last five years.
“It has been an enormous privilege for me to have developed so many ‘ideas bigger than ads’ in a space as inspiring as Saatchi &Saatchi, hand in hand with the most prestigious industry leaders and creative teams. Today, the network holds the highest standards in terms of talent in order to continue the ‘hothouse for world-changing ideas.’ The decision to leave this 20-year-old adventure has not been easy but the outcome surpassed by far my expectations.” “I hope I’ve honored the brand,” said Pablo del Campo at the time of leaving Saatchi & Saatchi.
As part of a network committed to create Ideas Bigger than Ads, Pablo del Campo carried on ¨Battle of the Surfaces¨ in which for the very first time, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal played a tennis match in a court half grass and half clay. The match was followed by more than 200 millions people around the world.
With this same spirit, Saatchi & Saatchi developed “Teletransporter” for Andes beer, winning the Gran Prix at Cannes. The campaign generated millions followers around the world who called for the action to be replicated in their markets.
