Ad agency Terri & Sandy has added to its senior ranks, naming Charles Watlington its first design director and Phil Fattore as group creative director.   

Previously, Watlington was design director at TBWA/Chiat/Day. His brand word includes Coca-Cola, Uber, the New York Knicks and American Express. Prior to TBWA/Chiat/Day, he held senior design roles at Johannes Leonardo, The Martin Agency and Ogilvy’s B.I.G. He also led design work for MoMA, Kate Spade and Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Fattore’s creative career includes client work for Uber Eats, Hanes, Planet Fitness, Nissan and Fox Sports. Most recently, he was group creative director at Special U.S. Before that, he held creative posts at TBWA/Chiat/Day and barrettSF. 

“Charles brings a level of craft that will help enable us to put design into everything we do. Phil brings passion and an instinct for big ideas that connect with people and move business,” said CCO Amy Ferguson. “Both lead with generosity, collaborate without ego and inspire the people around them to do their best work.” 

The new hires are part of the agency’s internal growth. Terri & Sandy recently named Martin Agency alum John Gibson as head of strategy, former Grey executive Dylan Prill as head of growth, and Tina Lam, formerly of TBWA/Chiat/Day, as head of production.
