NEW YORK Ken Erke, group creative director at Cramer-Krasselt, has left the agency to become ecd at WPP’s Young & Rubicam, Chicago, said Mark Figliulo, CCO at Y&R in Chicago.

While at Cramer-Krasselt, he worked on Corona and Rozerem.

Erke, who started last week, is the first ecd the Chicago office has had. “It was mainly because Sears consolidated with us and we’re growing the business day by day,” said Figliulo. “I needed senior representation on all the accounts.”
