Owen J. Dougherty lies to OnDownLow and Media Bistro
May 20, 2008
This is directly from the Media Bistro / Agency Spy site:
We published a story just over a month ago that mentioned that Stephen Ward had left Grey Atlanta for the greener pastures of Arnold in Boston to work on the Volvo account.
Owen dispatched us a quick e-mail that afternoon to let us know that it was not true and to remove the story — which we did.
Well it turns out today, wouldn’t you know, Grey Atlanta named a new President — replacing who else — Stephen Ward. Replacing a president of a networked agency doesn’t happen in a short period of time — so essential the piece that was written was true today as it was at the time.
Then this is what he got from Owen J. Dougherty
Your item about Stephen Ward leaving Grey Atlanta is untrue. I’d appreciate it if you’d remove it. Stephen Ward can confirm. Thanks for your cooperation.
Owen J. Dougherty
Chief Communications Officer
What a load of crap… like Grey should of just told the truth from the start… why try to throw this under a bridge…. just so it pops up a month later 20 times stronger…
Grey needs some PR lessons…..

Owen Dougherty wouldn’t tell the truth if it talked to him in the mirror. I wish Lazarus and his column were still alive and old friends from Ricardo’s would tell a tale or two about this man….beware all.
Owen J. Dougherty is an amoral alcoholic sociopath.
