Deutsch Inc. is an American, multi disciplinary marketing communications agency headquartered in New York City. Founded as David Deutsch Associates, Inc. by David Deutsch[8] in 1969, the company name was later changed to Deutsch Inc. when his son, Donny Deutsch, took over the agency in 1989. Deutsch LA opened its office in 1995 and in November 2000, the agency was sold to Interpublic Group of Companies.[9][10] Deutsch is currently led by Linda Sawyer who took over the role as Chairman in January 2015 and by Mike Sheldon, CEO of North America.[11]

Deutsch launched its first DLatino practice in the fall of 2014, aiming to focus on Hispanic marketing.[12]

In 2016, Deutsch launched a branded entertainment department, DeutschMusic,[13] signing Grammy-nominated artist Charlie Puth.

Notable campaigns

Furniture retailer IKEA airs Deutsch-produced ad that is the first mainstream depiction of identifiable, gay characters.[18][19]

AdWeek picked the Deutsch commercial, "The Force", for Volkswagen AG, as the top commercial of 2011.[20] The Association of Independent Commercial Producers also listed that commercial as one of the top 3 of 2011 in several categories.[21]

Deutsch produced two live commercials for client Target Corporation during the Grammys alongside musicians Imagine Dragons[22] and Gwen Stefani,[23] marking the first live commercial-break concert[24] and the first live music video[25] respectively.

Deutsch executed “Art Heist for Good” for pro bono client Water is Life. The campaign involved taking art from Kibera,[26] one of the most violent slums in Kenya, auctioning to the highest bidder.[27] and using the proceeds to fund clean-water and sanitation systems in the region.[28]

Deutsch created TacoBot, an artificially intelligent [29] chatbot for placing orders and specifying pickup at local Taco Bell restaurants via Slack.[30]
