J. Walter Thompson announced plans last week to stay in its present office space in downtown Detroit.
The agency, which services Ford Motor Co.’s Ford division, had considered moving its 550 employees in order to be closer to the Ford headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., about 10 miles away, said JWT president Peter Schweitzer.
