Bateman's Promo Reflects Larger Role at Publicis

Publicis/Bloom here continued its management transition last week with the elevation of client services director Mark Bateman into a new role.
Bateman was promoted from senior to executive principal in his post atop the account service department. The title change reflects his expanded duties since the early 1997 retirement of chairman Paul MacMahon and the appointment of co-chairmen Steve Price and Seth Werner.
“It expands Mark’s role beyond just worrying about the account service area,” said Price.
