NEW YORK – Kevin Roddy, chief creative officer of Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH NY) is the new Chairman of the Board of The One Club, the non-profit organization dedicated to promoting excellence in advertising and design. The Club is best known for its yearly creative competition, The One Show.
Currently a board member, Roddy was elected together with three new officers: Ari Merkin (of elite indie agency Toy New York), the new Secretary/Treasurer; Kara Goodrich (BBDO NY), and Steve Sandstrom (Sandstrom Partners Portland), both Vice Chairpersons.
“Creativity is facing some significant challenges right now, and I’m looking forward to working with The One Club to champion and promote it in all its forms,” says Roddy. “We are a creative industry that has tremendous value and, I believe, that needs to be elevated in importance. And there’s no better organization to do that than The One Club.”
According to One Club CEO Mary Warlick, Roddy is probably the only Board Member that has won two Best of Shows at the One Show. He is joined on the Board by a formidable crew of US and Canadian ad luminaries, including David Lubars and David Droga.
