Stewart plumps for photography future after MBO shake-up

Brian Stewart, vice-chairman and joint creative director of the

former Delaney Fletcher Bozell, is leaving the agency to become a

full-time photographer.

Stewart had been the partner of Greg Delaney, the agency’s chairman and

joint creative director, for eight years. Together they have created

many of the agency’s award-winning campaigns, for clients including

Triumph, Chrysler Jeep and the Army.

Stewart said the recent management buyout of Delaney Lund Knox Warren &

Partners from the merged Bozell and FCB networks made him feel the time

was right to leave. He left last Friday.

Delaney said: ’Brian has been a brilliant partner. He’s a great art

director and has a very good eye. I think he’ll be a fantastic

photographer.’

Before joining Delaney Fletcher in 1990, Stewart founded Elgie Stewart

Smith with Don Elgie and Barry Smith, but it went bust. He has also

worked at FCB, WCRS and Hall Advertising.

He trained at Edinburgh College of Art.
