On a Merry-Go-Round in Atlanta

Comings and Goings Mount at Ogilvy, BBDO South, T.G. Madison
ATLANTA–The face of the advertising community here continued evolving last week in a fresh burst of activity, reflecting the shifting fortunes of several agencies.
The most action occurred at Ogilvy & Mather, which announced the addition of a new creative director in John Carter, from Foote, Cone & Belding in San Francisco, under executive creative director Steve Saari. The agency also added account supervisor Eric Plaskonos, formerly an account director at Grey Advertising in Los Angeles.
The new hires are countermeasures to the shop’s loss of partner and management supervisor Charles “Bubba” Cooper to BBDO South, as well as the recruitment of the creative team of art director Tim Kenum and copywriter Nick Vagott to crosstown rival T.G.
