Grey Worldwide has announced the appointment of former Euro RSCG Worldwide chairman and chief executive officer, Jim Heekin, to chairman of the WPP owned media network.
Commenting on the position, Ed Meyer, Grey Global Group’s chairman and chief executive officer said: “We decided to keep this the world’s biggest secret.”
Meyer sold Grey to WPP earlier this year for $1.5 billion, with the deal going through in early March. The purchase of Grey brought with it the account of the world’s largest advertiser Procter & Gamble, as well as drinks group Diageo and the pharmaceuticals giant GlaxoSmithKline.
