New Draftfcb global CEO Carter Murray isn’t wasting any time in making change at the Interpublic Group agency. Murray, who took office this week, has named Nigel Jones, the U.K. chairman and CEO of Publicis, as chief strategy officer worldwide.

For Jones, it’s a return to Draftfcb: He was formerly president of the agency’s London operations from December 2005 until June 2008.

Jones’ 30-year career began at BMP DDB in 1994, at a time when it was widely considered the seminal influence on modern agency account planning—a practice that he oversaw.
