TBWA\Chiat\Day is the American division of the advertising agency TBWA Worldwide. Created in the 1995 merger of TBWA and Chiat/Day, the agency operates offices in Los Angeles, New York City, Nashville and Mexico City. Prior to the merger, Chiat/Day created internationally notable advertising, including “1984†for Apple Computer that introduced the Macintosh computer. The merger also inspired the creation of the ad agency St.Lukes by Chiat\Day's London office's employees.
TBWA Worldwide is part of the global marketing group Omnicom, with a reputation for more quirky or "disruptive" work. The youngest network in the group's portfolio, TBWA expanded rapidly in the final years of the 1990s and is a competitor to BBDO and DDB. A significant step came in 1998 when the agency absorbed Anglo-French marketing network GGT BDDP.
The current president of the Los Angeles office is Carisa Bianchi, the New York office is headed by Robert Harwood-Matthews.
