“We’re building something special here: a creative home where the best talent can have access to the best briefs in the world, in a team wholeheartedly dedicated to making them feel supported,” stated Jones. “Laura and Guy will round out our already robust creative leadership, joining fellow GCD’s Ron Lewis and Josh Eastman at the helm of the department. I have carefully curated this team, and together we are on a mission to make our impact felt in the world of healthcare. I hope the industry is taking note.”
Potucek comes from the FCB Health network, where she worked at both Area 23 and FCB Cure. Her creative pedigree is evident in the multi-award winning work for ‘The Anti-Trafficking Exam’, and ‘Strikes without Warning’ oncology campaign for Lazanda. Potucek also has a track record of leading the charge for change as the Co-Chair of the FCB WE Council championing inclusion, celebrating diversity, and providing career and development support.
