As it brings its agencies closer together in the U.K. into a second campus based in London to further simplify its operations, agency network WPP has promoted GroupM’s chief executive there, Karen Blackett, to country president.

The elevation of Blackett, who initially joined media agency Mediacom as chief operations director in 2008, will see her step up from U.K. country manager, a role she also held—placing a full-time focus on WPP, which employs around 12,000 people in the U.K.
