Creative Director

TBWA\CHIAT\DAY - LA

Jimmy Smith (creator, writer, producer) absolutely, positively hates writing his own bio, listing his accomplishments and referring to himself in the third person.

So, I'm not going to do it. It's just weird, man.

First of all, I didn't do anything by myself. If I hadn't have met my wife, Smoke, plus folks like Alma Hopkins, Lewis Williams, Al Hawkins, Gwen Dawkins, Jo Muse, Wilky Lau, Donna LaMar, Dan Wieden, Jim Riswold, John Jay, Jon Kamen, John Huet, Javier Castillo, Bill Davenport, Hal Curtis, QD3, Bootsy Collins, Jayanta Jenkins, RZA, Jesse Dylan, David Lubars, Vann Graves and Lee Clow, you wouldn't have heard of me.

Ty Montague

Former Co-President and Chief Creative Officer, JWT North America

Founder, NewCo

As the former head of North America's largest advertising agency, it may seem ironic that Ty doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about ads. Throughout his career Ty has strained against the narrow definition of advertising as a 30-second craft by leveraging the art of storytelling. Upon joining JWT five years ago, Ty and his partner Rosemarie Ryan led a creative and structural transformation of the agency. This effort culminated this year with JWT being named Adweek magazines 2009 Global Agency of the Year — the first award of its kind for JWT and parent company, WPP. Clients included Microsoft, Bloomberg, Smirnoff, DeBeers, Rolex, Macy's, T Rowe Price, Ford, HSBC, Cadbury Schweppes, Unilever, Nestle and Johnson & Johnson.
