CHICAGO J. Walter Thompson has named Publicis New York CEO Barry Krause as the new president of the agency following a four-month search.

Krause was expected to sign a contract with JWT last Friday. He was named chairman and CEO of Publicis in New York in September, following the merger of the agency’s Chicago and New York offices.

JWT North America President Bob Jeffrey wanted to bring in someone familiar with the Chicago ad landscape, and Krause fits the bill.
