Patrick Beeli strengthens creative leadership at Havas
Havas has a new creative director: Patrick Beeli has been part of the creative leadership at Gutstrasse since mid-September.
He is the third CD under the leadership of CCO Folker Wrage, alongside Merlin Zuni (Digital CD) and Gabriel Mauron (Geneva). He thus returns to the agency where he last worked ten years ago.
Patrick Beeli comes from Alpha 245, where he was creative director for Jumbo, Manor and UBS, among others, since 2013. Before that, he held the same position at Scholz & Friends. He was also a successful art director at Jung von Matt/Limmat for five years and is a member of ADC Switzerland.
Havas is delighted with the addition: "Patrick was a real desired candidate. He has an outstanding ability to combine a high degree of creativity with effectiveness. And what is even more important to us - he is a fine person with whom everyone enjoys working," says CCO Folker Wrage.
At the same time, Havas announces the addition of Willem Baumann as Senior Art Director. After working for Contexta, Scholz & Friends, Y&R and KSP, he now strengthens the Credit Suisse team at Havas. CCO Wrage on his new senior AD: "Willem is a perfect fit for the team. He loves his job, has strong ideas and is a responsible and strong leader AD."
