LOS ANGELES Structural changes are afoot at WPP Group’s JWT West, according to the agency’s corporate headquarters.

More than 15 Los Angeles-based staffers have been laid off following the shop’s October loss of its estimated $35 million Symantec creative account, sources said [Adweek Online, Oct. 18, 2005]. Layoffs included JWT West president Brad Fornaciari, who had led the Los Angeles and San Francisco offices since the regional group’s formation in May 2004.

Fornaciari could not be reached for comment, but sources said he would explore employment opportunities both in and out of Southern California.
