About TBWA\Chiat\Day
TBWA\Chiat\Day, founded by Jay Chiat and Guy Day, is a motion & film agency with offices in Los Angeles, New York, Paris and Tokyo.
This is the LA mothership of the TBWA\Chiat\Day legacy, the house that Jay Chiat built, and the agency forever associated with Apple's "1984" and "Think Different." Its operating philosophy, "Disruption," is one of the few genuine intellectual frameworks in advertising: the idea that brands win by breaking their category's conventions rather than conforming to them, expressed through what the agency calls "Media Arts."
The strength is that real methodology paired with the network's global resources and a creative bar set by one of the most famous campaigns ever made. The perpetual challenge is the weight of that history, when you've made "1984," everything after is measured against it. But the ambition is authentic, and on the right brief this is still a shop that aims to change the conversation, not just join it.
