Long-time Chicago creative director/art director Noel Haan has joined BBDO Proximity Minneapolis as executive creative director. Haan was most recently a group creative director at Ogilvy & Mather in Chicago. He assumes his new position this week.
Haan brings more than 20 years’ experience to his new position, with stints at Leo Burnett, Energy BBDO and, most recently, Ogilvy & Mather in Chicago. He boasts a broad range of client experience, working with clients and brands like SC Johnson, Bayer, Altoids, Jim Beam, Starbucks, Reebok and more. Among the famous campaigns Haan is associated with: “Curiously Strong” for Altoids and “Guys never change” for Jim Beam.
“Our agency in Minneapolis has grown considerably and now handles clients in more categories, with different creative needs. Noel is someone who can help lead our agency forward,” said David Lubars, chairman and chief creative officer, BBDO North America. “In addition to being a talented, award-winning creative director, with Lions, Pencils, Kellys and more to show, Noel has built and managed creative teams. He inspires and motivates and he’ll bring a fresh perspective to all of our Minneapolis clients.”
In the past year, BBDO Minneapolis has added significant new business assignments including Skippy Peanut Butter, the MN Health Insurance Exchange and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. These are in addition to existing clients such as Hormel and Schwan’s Home Service, among others.
“I am very excited to be reunited with David Lubars and to be coming back to a BBDO agency with so much positive momentum. BBDO Minneapolis has been around for 80 years. It’s my job to make the next decade just as memorable,” said Haan.
