Steve Denekas joined Crispin as chief creative officer in February from Dept and set about reinventing the 59-year-old agency by leaning into its history while building a new positioning.

In this episode, design guru Denekas tells Campaign Chemistry how he utilized his roots at Energy BBDO, Wieden+Kennedy and Instrument working on iconic brands such as Levi's, Nike and Dodge to construct a next-generation creative offer.

He also opines on subjects including Nike's recent troubles, what a Crispin client looks like now, building a diverse creative team and working within the Stagwell holding company.
