Joan Creative hired Denetrias "Dee" Charlemange as director of client partnerships. Charlemange will lead all current and new client partnerships and aid in business development initiatives. She will be based in the agency's New York City headquarters and will report to co-founders Lisa Clunie, chief executive officer, and Jaime Robinson, chief creative officer.

Charlemange joins the agency from Truffle Pig, where she was head of new business. Prior to that, she was a planning lead at Ogilvy & Mather. She began her career as a WPP Fellow.

"This is a wild and wonderful time for Joan as we've moved beyond our start up days and are now working with a portfolio of top brands," said Clunie. "Dee's leadership, critical thinking and analytic skills, broad range of past experiences from strategic planning to new business to account work, and her brilliant, fun nature, will be a huge asset to us as we write the next chapter of Joan in collaboration with our clients. We are beyond thrilled to have Dee as part of our team."
