Media Planning: Still No National Broadcast Director

Even in the most dis mal job market in a decade, Havas’ Media Planning continues to have trouble attracting a media buyer to fill its long-vacant evp/national broadcast director spot.

The lack of a CEO and the loss of important cli ents have soured candidates on the position, sources said. The media shop handles $2.6 billion in U.S. billings from cli ents rep resented by Me dia Planning and Havas’ Euro RSCG, whose clients include Intel and Evian.

The job has been open since March 2001, when Ray Dundas left the agency to handle Universal’s media buying at OMD.
