NEW YORK Chris Shumaker today as expected joined Foote Cone & Belding as the Interpublic Group agency’s evp and chief growth officer.
He resigned from WPP Group’s Grey in August to join IPG, but had to take an extended leave of absence until the last five months of his Grey contract had expired.
FCB CEO Steve Blamer, Grey’s former North American CEO, had hired Shumaker, 45, at Grey in 2004 to lead new business.
In a statement, Blamer praised Shumaker’s “depth and breadth of knowledge, energy, connections and ‘gentle’ tenacity that will optimize FCB’s new business efforts.”
Blamer,
