NEW YORK David Barrington, evp, managing director of video investments at Havas’ MPG, has left the agency and is expected to assume a new sales position at NBC.
MPG confirmed the departure, but NBC would not confirm his arrival at the network, although sources said an announcement is expected shortly.
Barrington joined MPG in January, effectively replacing Bill McOwen, who left in the fall of last year for a new post at Publicis Groupe’s Starcom in Los Angeles.
As the top TV buyer at MPG, the timing of Barrington’s departure is somewhat awkward for the media shop, coming as it does on the eve of the TV upfront sales market.
