NEW YORK Ruth Wooden, former president of the Ad Council and a former evp and senior counselor at public relations shop Porter Novelli, will testify for the defense in the trial of two former Ogilvy & Mather executives accused of inflating the federal government’s ad bills.

The co-defendants, former executive group director Shona Seifert and former finance director Thomas Early, have both pled not guilty to organizing a scheme to overbill the government via fraudulent timesheets in order to make up a $3 million revenue shortfall on the $1 billion Office of National Drug Control Policy account.
