This is Wolan’s first hire to a creative leadership position, making Krajan's appointment a vital component of the creative resurgence at the agency, according to a release.
“I’m incredibly excited for the creative leadership that Mark will bring to this agency,” Wolan stated. “He’s worked at top agencies and done great work for so many different brands, I look forward to his contribution to helping raise the bar creatively and growing our business here at DDB SF. Also, I just like saying his last name.”
With almost 20 years of industry experience, Krajan joins DDB from Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners (BSSP) where he served as creative director. During this time, he led numerous Super Bowl campaigns, including a rebranding effort for Mini, a T-Mobile spot with Tim Tebow and the Evony mobile game launch for TopGames. He also pitched and produced the DraftKings launch campaign during the 2016 NFL season.
Krajan’s award-winning creative portfolio also includes campaigns for clients such as Priceline, Google, Xbox, Microsoft, Hotwire.com, General Motors, AT&T, Chiquita and El Pollo Loco.
Stated Krajan: “It’s always nice to join an agency on an upward trajectory with the opportunity to help it grow – especially when a higher creative standard is a valued part of that trajectory.”
Earlier in his career, Krajan founded his own agency in San Francisco with clients such as Yahoo!, Logitech and the San Francisco Visitors Bureau. The agency later merged with Teak. Prior to that, he honed his craft at TBWA\Chiat\Day LA and the former McCann-Erickson San Francisco.
