Gwyn Jones has unexpectedly stepped down as CEO of Bartle Bogle Hegarty, two years after Publicis Groupe took full control of the London-based agency.

Jones, who has spent his entire 27-year career at BBH in a series of successively larger roles, will leave at the end of the year, giving way to Neil Munn, the shop's global chief operating officer and a former marketing leader at Unilever.

Munn will become just the fourth CEO in the agency's 32-year history and joins the (thin) ranks of former client-side leaders who have run global creative agencies.
