wise elephant, making it happen

Alex Bogusky has left the building

By Jason Moriber • Jul 23rd, 2010 • Category: Trail Blazers

Though Alex Bogusky doubled the size of CP+B during his 10+ year tenure as Creative Director, a truly impressive feat, he has decided to quit the business. Always fresh with ideas while pursuing a maverick path, Alex seemed to have the Adland balance in check. He’s decided it’s time to move on, to blaze new trails. The NYTimes noted:

“Mostly, what I want to do is participate in this cultural revolution that’s happening,” he added, “happening mostly outside of advertising.”

He posted on his blog:

“It took me 46 years to actually stop and smell a flower and I would suggest that was way too long.”

Best of luck Alex!
