NEW YORK Interpublic Group’s Foote, Cone & Belding has been in talks with Steve Blamer about his taking a senior executive position at the shop, sources said.

Blamer, 47, has been president of the New York office of Grey Worldwide for just over three years. Grey representative Jan Sneed said, “Steve Blamer isn’t even accessible to be able to comment.” She declined further comment.

Sources said IPG and FCB executives have been in talks with Blamer to possibly fill the New York CEO post or North American chief executive slot, both of which are currently vacant.
