The Interpublic Group has named Steve Blamer as CEO of and president of Foote Cone & Belding Worldwide. He replaces Brendan Ryan, who will continue as FCB’s chairman.
Previously, Blamer was CEO of Grey North American.
“Steve has always been one of our toughest competitors,” said Ryan in a statement. “Over the years, he’s grown from a terrific ad guy into a great leader, manager and integrated marketer. When he took over Grey New York in 2000, restructured the agency and recruited top new talent, he gave that agency a huge shot in the arm.”
FCB helps clients with a range of advertising disciplines, including database and direct marketing.
