Publicis Dialog has two new top executives running its Irvine, CA office.
The agency promoted Mary Puls to managing director, and Ray Gottschalk to senior VP of Publicis Dialog Southern California. They’ll take over the duties of President-CEO Ray Damiano, who leaves Publicis to become president of Alcone Merchandise in Irvine (PROMO P&I, Oct. 13).
Puls had been senior VP-account director and Gottschalk had been VP-account director, both in the Irvine office. Puls also is managing director of Publicis Dialog’s Glendale office, which primarily serves Nestlé USA.
The Irvine office had been part of Publicis Dialog’s sister agency Frankel until parent Publicis Groupe merged the office into Publicis Dialog last year as part of consolidation of its below-the-line agencies.
