Just to clarify things right quick for those on the Spy line, we spoke to sources in the know, and yes, we’ve received confirmation that Judith Carr, currently president and now-Publicis Groupe-owned DigitasLBi, is changing courses just slightly. From what we’ve been told, Carr, who’s been with what was then LBi for seven years, will be part of a move that includes “streamlining management,” though she’s staying within the organization and starting her own practice within the Publicis Groupe network.
Timeline has yet to be finalized (we’re told it could be anywhere from six weeks to end of year at this point), but we’ll keep you posted if and when we hear more about Carr, who sources say is just one of a few upcoming leadership shifts at DigitasLBi/MRY on coming up. We’re of course staying tuned.
