Ayer's Detroit Chief Steps Aside

Dannielle Colliver, president of N.W. Ayer & Partners, which handles General Motors’ $50 million corporate account, is leaving the agency and will be replaced by a GM advertising executive, sources said.
Taking over from Colliver will be Luana Flocuzzio, formerly corporate advertising director at GM. Flocuzzio took a buyout and left the automaker March 31, GM representative Donna Fontana confirmed.
Fontana declined to comment on Colliver’s planned departure from Ayer or the impending appointment of Flocuzzio.
Colliver, 56, was the first woman to head a Detroit ad agency with a major car client when she took over at Ayer here in February, 1991.
