Young & Rubicam is shifting from a regional to global approach to shopper marketing with the appointment of Jon Bird as global managing director of Labstore, the agency's retail marketing arm.
To date, Labstore's footprint has been limited to parts of Europe, South America, Central America and Asia. With the appointment of a global chief, WPP Group's Y&R aims to build the unit into a bigger player that can compete with the likes of Saatchi & Saatchi X, Catapult and Geometry, the rollup of G2, OgilvyAction and JWTAction.
