Rainier Lures Weber Trio To U.K. Office

Larry Weber will have to build McCann-Erickson’s global public relations empire with three fewer staffers in his London office.
Steve Earl, Tanya Lepojevic and Stephen Waddington resigned their account service posts to join Rainier Corp.’s fledgling London outpost. The three now share the title of co-directors and report to Stephen Schuster, president and founder of the Princeton, Mass.-based marketing firm.
“They loved Weber Group when we were a smaller, emerging company,” said Weber. Moving to Rainier gives the trio the chance “to do the same thing” and once again build up a business almost from scratch.
