Co-CEO
Co Collective
After 20-plus years in traditional advertising, Ty and his partners Rosemarie Ryan, Neil Parker and Richard Schatzberger launched Co Collective in September of 2010.
Co is a story-led innovation collective; a collaborative platform designed to help large marketers navigate the complexities of creating meaningful connections with customers in the networked age. Co is working with MTV networks and MSG among several founding clients.
Montague is happiest when things are “under construction,” which may be why he has spent his career as an innovator and agent of change.
As Co-President, Chief Creative Officer, JWT North America, Montague and his partner Rosemarie Ryan helped lead a five-year transformation of the agency. This effort culminated with JWT being named Adweek’s 2009 Global Agency of the Year—the first award of its kind for JWT.
Prior to that Montague launched and helped build the New York office of Bartle Bogle Hegarty, ran the New York office of Wieden and Kennedy and worked at the New York office of Chiat Day.
In 2010 Montague was honored in Creativity magazine’s “Creativity 50” – celebrating ‘the most influential and inspiring creative personalities in the past year.’ In Sept. 2010 Montague was named an OMMA “Digital Allstar.”
Montague's work has been recognized in every major creative competition in the industry, including The One Show, Cannes, Communication Arts, D&AD, Clio, The Andy's and The Effies. His work is also part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
