After considering candidates in New York and Chicago, BBDO South here recruited its new president and chief executive officer from neighbor shop J. Walter Thompson, a BBDO official confirmed.
Chris Hall, presently senior vice president, group account director and director of business development at JWT, will move three blocks to the helm of BBDO South. He begins his new position March 23.
Hall, 43, fills a post left vacant last fall when Larry Tolpin, ironically, departed to assume dual roles as JWT worldwide creative director and chief executive officer of JWT West in San Francisco.
