Advertising executive Dylan Williams, leading strategy at Droga5 London, announces departure from his position.
After a five-year tenure at Droga5 London, Dylan Williams has announced his departure from the agency. The news was not accompanied by a formal statement from Droga5 London, with the agency citing family and personal reasons for the silence.
During his time at Droga5 London, Williams worked with several notable brands, including Diet Coke, Amazon, Barclaycard, and Meta/Facebook. He joined the agency in 2016, having previously served as the global chief strategy and innovation officer at Publicis Worldwide.
Prior to the acquisition by Accenture Interactive in 2019, Williams played a significant role in the growth and development of Droga5 London. However, the specific circumstances surrounding his departure remain unclear.
Damien Le Castrec continues as the head of strategy at Droga5 London. The agency has not yet announced who will fill the role vacated by Williams. In a surprising turn of events, Will Hodge was announced as the new Chief Strategy Officer at Droga5 London in April 2025.
As Williams moves on from Droga5 London, he leaves behind a legacy of innovative and impactful campaigns. His departure marks a significant change for the agency, and the industry will surely be watching to see who will step up to fill his shoes.
