On behalf of Accenture and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I am submitting a series of COI edit requests in an attempt to improve this entry from a Wikipedia perspective. I have worked to draft an expanded and updated entry, which is focused on the subject and based on Wikipedia-appropriate sources. I will be submitting requests seeking to replace the current article's content appropriately bit by bit, but wanted to share the full draft for transparency.

Early life and education

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. The changes suggested removing content that is well-cited or where sources exist.

First, I'd like to propose an improved version of the Early life and education section. Here's a copy of the current text:

• Droga grew up in Perisher Valley, a remote ski resort in Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia, the fifth of six children.^[1][2] His mother was a Danish artist, poet and environmentalist, while his father was an Australian businessman of Polish Jewish descent.^[3] Droga attended early primary school at Jindabyne Central School (1973–1977) and then the Tudor House School (1978–1980). He went to high school at The King's School in Parramatta, Sydney.^[4] He launched his advertising career as a copywriter at the Australian Writers and Art Directors School in 1987.^[5][6]

Reasons for the change: There are a few issues here. The first citation is a website for booking speakers, which I think most editors would agree should not be used for biographical claims. The Fast Company article does not mention Perisher or Kosciuszko. The article by The Australian mentions Tudor House and King's School in passing, but not the years he attended or Jindabyne Central School. Finally, he took a class at Australian Writers and Art Directors School, but I would argue the claim is more relevant for the Career section and suggest removing from the section focused on his formal education.

Proposed text and sources supporting changes: I'd like to propose replacing this section's content with the following, which is more accurate and reflective of what Wikipedia-appropriate sources say about the subject:

• David Bjorn Droga was born in Australia.^[1][2] He was raised in rural New South Wales, as the fifth of six children. His father was of Polish descent and operated the Perisher Ski Resort,^[3] and his mother was a Danish artist and poet.^[1][2] According to The Australian, Droga was raised "in a world largely without advertising, TV or media" and had an "isolated" and "offbeat" childhood.^[3] Droga attended the Tudor House School in Moss Vale, followed by The King's School, Parramatta in the Sydney suburb of North Parramatta.^[3]

Editors can see how this section fits into the larger draft. You'll notice my draft mentions the Australian Writers and Art Directors School in the Career section, so I'm suggesting more of a text relocation than a removal of this claim.

If editors consider the proposed content an improvement over the existing Early life and education section, I'm hoping someone can update the article on my behalf as I generally avoid editing the main space given my COI. I'll be proposing other changes to this biography, but will try not to ask editors to review too much at once. I can address questions or concerns here or on my user Talk page. Thanks for reviewing this request, Inkian Jason (talk) 16:15, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for your proposed changes and for using the proper COI procedures. I will take a look over your proposed changes and respond soon. If I haven't given an update within 48 hours, please ping me. We appreciate your firm going about Wikipedia editing the right way. —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:27, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

It looks an improvement overall in that it removes the inappropriate source, allamericanspeakers.com, and proposes to move career information.

I'm a bit concerned about the Campaign source. It reads like a public relations piece. It's probably ok paired with the Fast Company, given what they are being used to verify. --Hipal (talk) 19:57, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

I've largely implemented the change, though I kept a sentence that was suggested for removal (re: the start of Droga's career), seeing no reason to remove it. —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:45, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing and updating the article on my behalf. Inkian Jason (talk) 21:16, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Early career

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

For my next request, I'd like to address the first paragraph of the Early career section. Here's a copy of the current text:

• Six months after being hired by FCB as a copywriter, Droga left the company and joined startup OMON in Sydney.^[1] His first project for radio station MMM was voted Australian Commercial of the Year, and won him a Cannes Lion.^[2] Droga became a Partner and Executive Creative Director of OMON.^[3][4]

Reasons for the change: There are a few issues here: 1) "FCB" is not linked, 2) the radio station MMM claim is based on a link to the subject's acceptance speech on the LIONS (Informa Festivals) website, and 3) bestadsontv.com is used as an inline citation, which I think most editors would consider an inappropriate source. Also, the article does not currently mention his role at Grey Advertising, which I think is relevant to his early career.

Proposed text and sources supporting changes: I'd like to propose replacing this paragraph with the following, which is more accurate and reflective of what Wikipedia-appropriate sources say about the subject:

• Droga started working in the mailroom of the advertising agency Grey Advertising^[1] in Sydney at the age of 18.^[2] While working there, he enrolled in a class at the Australian Writers and Art Director's School. Droga scored the top mark, garnering attention from advertising executives.^[3] He worked for the advertising firm FCB, but left months later to join the startup company Omon.

Editors can see how this paragraph fits into the larger draft. If editors consider the proposed content an improvement over the existing paragraph, I'm hoping someone can update the article on my behalf as I generally avoid editing the main space given my COI. @Ganesha811: I want to make you aware of this request, since you weighed in re: Australian Writers and Art Director's School above. I'd argue the claim about a single class is more relevant for the Career section than one summarizing his formal education, but of course you and others may prefer to present the information differently and that's not a problem. Thanks again for your consideration! Inkian Jason (talk) 21:40, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for using the COI request process. I'm declining this request for now for a few reasons, most of which are subtle but all together lean towards the proposed change making the article more promotional/resume-like and therefore not an overall improvement.

• All three sources used for the changes are interviews with the subject, meaning they are not independent
• The sources do not clearly verify all of the proposed facts. For example, the first sentence combines two sources to say he started working at Grey at age 18, but neither source actually says that (see WP:OR)
• There is no reason to call Grey "the advertising agency" - that is what the name and link are for
• The mention of him receiving "the top mark" is sourced only to himself and also not particularly relevant
• The vagueness of the phrase "garnering attention" is both promotional and unhelpful
• The most relevant fact about BBDO's acquisition would seem to be that that is when he left Omon, yet that is not mentioned.

I'm sorry if this feels pedantic, and I'm not suggesting the paragraph as is is perfect or shouldn't be changed. What I do think is that this demonstrates is why using the standard request format of "What I think should be changed" and "Why I think it should be changed" is probably a better way to go rather than drafting an entire paragraph, which can be quite difficult for a conflicted editor to do neutrally. Melcous (talk) 20:57, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

@Melcous Thanks for your feedback. I have resubmitted an edit request below using the template at the link you've shared, which you're welcome to review. The request is specific to Grey per the source already used as an inline citation. If the source is problematic, I can try finding a replacement, but hopefully I've more clearly articulated how the article can be improved and given editors a bit more freedom to implement preferred wording based on the source. Thanks again! Inkian Jason (talk) 21:59, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Career (continued)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

For my next request, I'd like to address the second paragraph of the Early career section. Here's a copy of the current text:

In 1996, he moved to Singapore to become Executive Creative Director of Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore and Regional Creative Director of Saatchi Asia.^[1] Droga was promoted to Executive Creative Director of Saatchi & Saatchi London in 1999. In 2002, Advertising Age awarded Droga the World's Top Creative Director.^[2][3] Saatchi & Saatchi London won Global Agency of the Year at the Cannes International Advertising Festival and both Advertising Age and Adweek named Saatchi Agency of the Year.^[4] In 2000, Publicis Groupe acquired Saatchi^[5] and in 2004, Droga was promoted to Worldwide Chief Creative Officer of the Publicis Network, which took him to New York City in 2005.^[6]

Proposed text and sources supporting changes: I'd like to propose replacing this paragraph with the following, which is more accurate, focused more on the subject as an individual, and reflective of what Wikipedia-appropriate sources say about the him:

Droga continued to work for large agencies in London, New York, Singapore, and Sydney.^[1] He joined the British multinational communications and advertising firm Saatchi & Saatchi in his mid-20s, working from Singapore.^[2][3] He started as the regional executive creative director of Saatchi Asia, then became the creative head in London in 1999,^[4] at the age of 29.^[2][3] In 2002, when Adweek named Saatchi & Saatchi the Global Agency of the Year, the magazine credited Droga for "much of the network's success" and described him as "one of the hottest creative directors in the world".^[5][6] Droga became the global chief creative officer of the French multinational advertising and public relations company Publicis in 2003.^[1][3] Working from New York City, he was the first to occupy this role.^[5]

Editors can see how this paragraph fits into the larger draft. If editors think the proposed content is an improvement over the existing paragraph, I'm hoping someone can update the article on my behalf as I generally avoid editing the main space because of my COI. Thanks again! Inkian Jason (talk) 17:20, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

As with the above request, I'm declining due to the the proposed paragraph as drafted being subtly promotional and resume like. This includes an opening "summarising" sentence that reads like a resume and is redundant; then using unnecessarily lengthy/promotional phrases like "the British multinational communications and advertising firm" and "the French multinational advertising and public relations company" for linked entities; and the continued mention of his age which appears likewise unnecessary when years can be or are also used. Again I'd suggest that rather than drafting an entire paragraph, the COI editor point out key facts that are proposed to be removed or added with sources, and then let other neutral editors make those changes in their own wording. Finally, I note Inkian Jason that you have appropriately declared above that you are a paid editor, but you are using the COI edit request template here rather than the Paid editing request, which is more appropriate in your situation. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 21:09, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

@Melcous: Thanks for your feedback. I'll resubmit a request for this part of the article using the link you've shared. In the meantime, might you be willing to remove "Saatchi & Saatchi London won Global Agency of the Year at the Cannes International Advertising Festival and both Advertising Age and Adweek named Saatchi Agency of the Year.", which is not specific to the subject? Also, for when I resubmit, are you able to confirm if the AdNews and ihaveanidea.org sources already used as citations are appropriate for verifying claims? Inkian Jason (talk) 22:06, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

Striking out text related to this request below. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 15:23, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

• What I think should be changed (include citations): Currently, the Early career section starts with "Six months after being hired by FCB as a copywriter, Droga left the company and joined startup OMON in Sydney." What's missing is how the subject joined FCB, and the source already used as an inline citation actually offers more information about the subject's early career.

• Why it should be changed: I propose adding mention of Grey Advertising, something along the lines of "Droga started working in the mailroom of Grey Advertising.

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): The source says:

And so he began in advertising from the bottom rung of the ladder - the mailroom boy at Grey Advertising, Sydney who wanted to write, saw the work on creatives' desks and thought he could do better. He signed up to the Australian Writer & Art Directors School, came top nationally and was immediately offered a job at FCB. After just two months, he was poached by the industry's leading lights to join their start-up, Omon. Three years later, at 21, he became creative director, and when the agency was sold to Clemenger BBDO, he opted for freedom instead of the cash.

I am resubmitting an edit request based on feedback received here from User:Melcous, who also shared a link to a specific template I am attempting to use for the first time. If there's an issue with the source that's already used as a citation, I can try to find a replacement covering early career. Thanks for reviewing and updating this article appropriately on my behalf. Inkian Jason (talk) 21:55, 18 February 2026 (UTC)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

• What I think should be changed: The article does not mention the subject's board role at New Museum.

• Why it should be changed: I suggest adding mention of this board role of a notable organization, which I believe is common for biographies on Wikipedia. In my draft, I proposed the text "Droga is a member of the board of directors of the New Museum."

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): This article by Fast Company says, "He’s now a major collector, with a particular interest in Chinese art, and sits on the board of New York’s New Museum."^[1] Here are official links, if helpful for verification purposes:
• https://www.newmuseum.org/about/board-of-trustees/

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

• What I think should be changed: The article is currently lacking information about the subject's personal life, including relationship status, number of children, and residence locations.
• Why it should be changed: I propose adding details about his marriage and family life. In my draft, I have proposed the following text, which is based on Wikipedia-appropriate sources:

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): These claims are verified by the following three sources (green highlighting by me for easier review):
  • The Australian says, "Droga has four children aged between eight and 21 with his wife Marisa, a film producer who he met in New York when they were in their early twenties. They live in New York’s once gritty but now fashionable East ­Village, but when the coronavirus pandemic hit in March 2020 they moved temporarily to their farm near Hudson in upstate New York (although both he and his wife got Covid in those early days)."
  • The Sydney Morning Herald says, "Droga met Marisa, now 41, in 1997 when he travelled to New York for his first meeting of the worldwide board of Saatchi & Saatchi, where Marisa worked as an assistant." It also says, "They married in Thailand in 1998, and on their anniversary each year they walk around SoHo, revisiting the sites of their original date."
  • The Campaign article, which was published in 2003, says, "David Bjorn Droga ... greets me at the door of his three-storey house in London's fashionable Notting Hill."

I believe these claims are not contentious and in line with what many biographies include on Wikipedia. I invite User:Melcous and other editors to review and update the article appropriately on my behalf given my conflict of interest. Thanks! Inkian Jason (talk) 14:05, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

Partially done. I'm not convinced the multiple places of residence are relevant so have not included those. Nor is there a need to add ages when the year is given. Melcous (talk) 14:28, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

@Melcous: Thanks again for reviewing! I noticed the References section has the error message "Cite error: The named reference "Stewart" was defined multiple times with different content", if this is something you're able to fix. Inkian Jason (talk) 14:34, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

@Melcous Thank you for fixing. Inkian Jason (talk) 15:40, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

The user below has a request that a significant addition or re-write be made to this article for which that user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest. The backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 399 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies.

• What I think should be changed (include citations): The article does not mention the Tap Project, which was created by the subject to benefit UNICEF's clean water projects. The annual campaign has received lots of coverage in reliable sources and was deemed one of the top advertising campaigns of the 21st century by Ad Age.

• Why it should be changed: I propose adding mention of this well-documented project, which has expanded and received recognition. In my draft, I have proposed the following text, which is based on Wikipedia-appropriate sources:

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): Six sources are included in the proposed text. I believe all of the claims are easily verified by the sources but I am happy to share quotations, if helpful.

This text is specific to the subject and not any of his employers.

This text has nothing to do with the subject as an individual.

• Why it should be changed: I suggest removing this content and adding text about Cannes that is focused specifically on him. In my draft, I have proposed the following addition:

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): I have included four sources in the proposed text, all of which are appropriate for Wikipedia. I believe all of the claims are easily verifiable, but I can share quotations if helpful.

@Melcous: I know you have asked me to place less emphasis on the subject's age, but in this case, I think mention of his age may be more relevant since he is specifically described as the "youngest recipient". I ask Melcous and other editors to review this request and update the article appropriately on my behalf given my COI.
