Independent, creative and strategic agency The Distillery Project (TDP) has hired Jean-Pierre Bovie as creative director. He will work across the agency’s portfolio of clients and report to founder/chief creative officer John Condon.
Jean-Pierre is an art director and creative director who has more than 20 years of experience bringing brands of all sizes to life. He’s worked at small creative boutiques from Leagas Delaney SF to big shops such as The Martin Agency - and everything in between. Most recently, he was associate creative director at Weber Shandwick.
This journey has allowed Jean-Pierre to work on a variety of accounts ranging from Xbox, the Oakland Athletics, Free Credit Score, Children’s National Hospital, the CDC, and more. His passion to help brands tell their stories in unique ways across traditional and untraditional channels has been recognized and awarded by Communication Arts, The Webby Awards, and AAF, to name a few.
“We’re always on the lookout for smart, fun, kind, curious, caring, funny, enthusiastic types who happen to be really good at this whole advertising thing,” John said. “JP is all that. And he brings with him a wealth of experience on a wide range of brands - both traditional and non-traditional - at agencies of all shapes and sizes. In fact, about the only thing he didn’t bring with him is an amazing French accent.”
