Barton F. Graf 9000 hired Ian Reichenthal and Scott Vitrone as partners/executive creative directors. The pair most recently ran the New York office of Wieden and Kennedy as co-executive creative directors. Their hiring reunites them with Barton founder Gerry Graf. The three had worked together at TBWA/Chiat NY. After leaving TBWA NY, Reichenthal and Vitrone were co-chief creative officers at Y&R, New York overseeing accounts like Land Rover, Virgin Airlines and LG Electronics. While at Wieden + Kennedy, the duo oversaw clients that included Delta Airlines, Heineken, Southern Comfort, Jordan and ESPN. “Scott and Ian are hands down the greatest creative directors in the world,” said Gerry Graf in a statement. “It’s almost unimaginable the effect they will have on Barton F. Graf 9000.”
