NEW YORK The London office of DDB, after a search that lasted seven months, has filled its CEO vacancy with Stephen Woodford.

He had been chief executive officer of Engine Group, a mini-holding company that includes WCRS and marketing services specialty shops Personal, Meme, Dave, Woo and Slice.

Woodford, 47, succeeds Paul Hammersley, who resigned from DDB in December to become a partner at The Red Brick Road, Frank Lowe’s new agency in London. Woodford remains under contract with Engine Group, however, and won’t be able to start immediately.
