Troy Ruhanen, chief of BBDO Americas, has tapped Gill Duff to be president, CEO, of the agency’s Atlanta office.

Duff, who steps into the role on May 21, succeeds Chris Hall who left in January and is now consulting in the Atlanta area.

It’s a kind of a homecoming for the Southerner, who ran BBDO’s FedEx business in 2003-2004. He left BBDO in July 2004 to become CEO of Publicis N.Y. and in 2009 joined BBDO’s sister Omnicom agency DDB Worldwide.
