Broken Heart Love Affair continues their mission to hoard top-talent, while Watson continues to preach the importance of design thinking and creativity. A perfect love affair. Watson will lead the agency as head of design and continue to build the agency’s Design department. 

“Dave is a phenomenally talented conceptual designer, with an unparalleled commitment to the craft. Even more importantly, he’s an awesome human being. We are super stoked he’ll be heading up our design department at BHLA and can’t wait to see the work coming of out BHLA get even stronger”, said chief creative officer, Craig McIntosh.
