Prior to Deutsch, Menno spent time leading art departments at DDB and Y&R, where he earned accolades for his ability to deliver breakthrough work across a diversity of clients, and led to honours including DDB New York being named “Design Agency of the Year” at Young Guns and Y&R NY being named the most awarded US agency.
