Aaron Griffiths, 33, was hired as creative director at OgilvyOne in San Francisco. Coming from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, where he was a senior writer and worked on the agency's Hewlett-Packard and Saturn accounts, Griffiths will lead OgilvyOne's interactive work on its Yahoo! account. OgilvyOne recently hired Arthur Ceria to head its San Francisco creative department.

OgilvyOne opened a San Francisco office in November 2004, after Yahoo! tapped the agency to handle interactive creative duties. "We are committed to attracting the brightest creative lights in the interactive arena," Jan Leth, OgilvyOne co-executive chief creative director, said in a statement. "We've got one of the most highly awarded creative departments in the industry, and with these new talents ... we will be able to continue to deliver the innovative, breakthrough work that helps build our client's brands in the interactive space."
