The Departure advisory board keeps growing!
Sandra Duff is the kind of leader who makes everyone around her sharper. In our very first conversation, she cut past the surface and challenged us to think deeper about our message and our team. We knew right away she was the right fit.
She joins Departure’s advisory board alongside J.B. Raftus, the former CMO of GSD&M. Her focus will be helping Departure structure its infrastructure to meet the strategic needs of major brands planning production over multi-year periods.
.
In October, 2025 we reached 200 directors in The Departure Pool ™️ - a 2x increase from the 100 we launched with just 5 months prior.
Growing the pool continues to be a priority as we fufill our promise to our partners of always having a perfect director-fit.

“When somebody reaches out to us to tell a story...it’s our job to bring them the person that will do that best.”
EP Lucas Markman on why gatekeeping and exclusivity in production is ultimately a disservice to clients and agencies.
Our partners choose Departure because they know we will always prioritize craft and director-fit above all else. When that happens, everybody wins
.
In October, 2025 we announced the addition of J.B. Raftus to the company leadership as a strategic advisor.
J.B. brings nearly four decades of agency leadership experience to his advisory role.
Over 28 years at GSD&M, he held multiple senior positions before serving as CMO from 2000 to 2018.
He also led the Connected Communications practice as VP/general manager for Toronto-based management consultancy Jackman, and served as EVP/director of client services at McKinney in Durham, North Carolina.
His deep experience with holding-company agencies gives him a distinctive understanding of the client–agency relationship from every perspective.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
