Local agency Pollak, Levitt & Nel recently bid farewell to Creative Director and Agency Partner Andre Nel. To take his place, the agency named Brad Ramsey and Jeff Cole as Co-Creative Directors.

Ramsey and Cole joined what is now Pollak, Levitt three years ago after running the creative side of WestWayne’s $22 million NAPA Auto Parts account. They also played roles in the famous Beauty rest “Dropping the Ball” campaign. Before WestWayne, both were senior creatives with the Joey Reiman Agency. Before teaming up, Ramsey served as Associate Creative Director with CreathJacobsen in St. Louis, where his work for Volvo won Best of Show at the St. Louis ADDY’s.

Inspired by his father Jim, Jeff Cole started his career at Cole, Henderson Drake, then moved on to Bauerlein in New Orleans, where his work for the Louisiana Lottery and Audubon Zoo received national attention. His zoo work took him to Phillips-Ramsey in San Diego, where his clients included the San Diego Zoo, Giant Bicycles, and WD-40. Cole and Ramsey work after hours teaching at the Portfolio Center in Atlanta.
