CHICAGO, Jan. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Jordan Doucette was today named Executive Vice President/Executive Creative Director at Leo Burnett Chicago. Doucette joins the agency from TAXI Toronto, where she worked for more than 10 years, most recently having held the role of chief creative officer.

"The Kellogg Company is an iconic organization, and I see incredible opportunities to reinvigorate the love and magic of these brands," said Doucette. "Brands are adapting to today's way of buying and eating food, and smart, thoughtful, strategy-driven creative has never been more important."
Among Doucette's more high-profile accomplishments is having served as a juror at the 2017 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. Only the world's most respected and illustrious creatives are invited to sit on the jury; selection as a juror speaks to Doucette's international acclaim in the industry.

Her marquee clients included Pfizer (Centrum, Advil and Robax), Canadian Tire, Mark's, Fido Telecommunications, MINI Cooper, Vancouver Aquarium, BC Hydro and Casino Rama.
Doucette rose from the ranks within TAXI, having originally been hired as a copywriter in 2005. Before serving as chief creative officer, Doucette's roles included executive creative director and general manager of TELUS Telecommunications, which was the agency's largest piece of business. She has additionally held creative roles at Edelman, Grey Worldwide, Gee Jeffrey & Partners and Ambrose Carr.
She and her teams have been recognized by most major award shows, including the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, The One Show, the CLIO Awards and the CASSIES, among others.
