NEW YORK Merkley + Partners has recruited Saatchi & Saatchi worldwide chief marketing officer Rob Moorman to lead new-business efforts at the Omnicom Group shop.

Moorman, 55, will become CMO at Merkley, reporting to CEO Alex Gellert. He fills a vacancy left by the August 2007 exit of Morgan Shorey. Moorman starts on Tuesday.

“He is clearly well experienced. He has a terrific track record,” said Gellert. “And he understands how you market an agency beyond just the new-business piece.”

Moorman spent three-plus years at Publicis Groupe’s Saatchi here, rising to the global role in January after steering new business for the New York office.
