Dotted Line Agency Announces Jean-Pierre Bovie as Executive Creative Director

Dotted Line Agency has appointed Jean-Pierre Bovie executive creative director.

Bovie brings more than 20 years of creative leadership across retail, healthcare, CPG, nonprofit, entertainment and public-sector work. His experience spans brand platforms and integrated campaigns for The Coca-Cola Company, Walmart, Meijer, Children’s National Hospital and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Across his career, he has also held senior creative roles at Weber Shandwick, Bohan Advertising, RP3 Agency, GMMB, The Martin Agency and Discovery Channel, shaping work across broadcast, digital, social and experiential channels.

In the role, Bovie will partner with teams across strategy, media and data to develop creative that pushes beyond expected solutions into strategically grounded, platform-level creative. Bovie will set the agency’s creative standard across briefs, brainstorms and reviews in pursuit of unforgettable work that drives real business outcomes. Mentorship will sit at the center of his role, with a focus on talent at every level and a creative culture with a clear shared bar. He will also bring the agency’s strongest ideas into new-business conversations and client relationships.
