Crispin Porter + Bogusky’s chief executive and chief creative Andrew Keller is to leave after 17 years with the agency.

Keller’s departure follows the appointment of CP+B’s global chief executive Lori Senecal earlier this year.

He tweeted following news of his departure breaking: “Thanks CP+B for an amazing ride. Excited for a new adventure."

Keller is not alone in his departure, with Evan Fry, executive creative director also on his way out as well.

On Facebook, Fry wrote; “Yesterday marked the end of a long, poignant and impactful run for me at Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Aside from being interrupted for an amazing three-year experience where I helped found and build Victors & Spoils, CP+B had been my professional home to grow and develop - both professionally and personally - since late 2002.

“I've seen the agency change a lot during those years. But during it all, it had always remained CP+B at its core, largely by growing from within. But just as these are new times in the holding-company leagues, it is also a new era in the modern leagues. An era where a burgeoning, nimble batch of smart and empowered decision makers are making good with ideas and brands - doing it fast, and keeping it fun. A time where it is possible to strip away non-doers and make what works, by working directly with decision makers and collaborating honestly and decisively.

“So the timing for this change is good. I am blessed with inspiration, partners, connections, opportunities, support and passion. This is truly a going toward phase. An onward phase. I'd like to thank CP+B for everything. I wish CP+B all the continued success it is seeking. No idea what I'm doing yet. But stay tuned for a new website from me after a bit of time on two wheels in BC and Vermont. And thanks again.”

It is understood that neither have a job to go to at the present time.
