16839: Shoo-In For News Of The Week…?

 

Adweek reported Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW) named Crispin as its new White advertising agency.

 

Which begs the question: Crispin is still in business?

 

Admittedly missed the news of the firm’s rebranding, but it’s interesting—and unintentionally apropos—to see Porter and Bogusky dropped from the masthead in favor of a lesser-known dead founder.

 

Hell, the last memorable creative PR to come from the formerly Miami-based firm involved allegations of sexual predatory behavior from its Chief Creative Officer.

 

That Crispin is part of Stagwell—arguably the worst of the White holding companies—completes the critique.

 

The once-vaunted Adland powerhouse is now selling cheap shoes.
