John Yost, founder and president of Havas’ Black Rocket Euro RSCG, has resigned, the agency said last week. Yost—whose contract is about to expire—and his partner, Steve Stone, sold a majority stake in the San Francisco shop to Euro RSCG in 2001. “It seemed like an excellent time to step back for a moment and to rethink the direction of the agency, marketing and advertising business,” Yost said. It could not be determined if anyone would replace Yost at the agency, whose best-known work is for Yahoo!.
