LOS ANGELES The president of Omnicom’s TBWA\Chiat\Day was celebrated—and roasted—as leader of the year by the Los Angeles Advertising Agencies Association last night in Beverly Hills.

Robert LePlae accepted the annual award before an industry gathering of more than 800 at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

TBWA\C\D ecd Rob Schwartz hosted the event, a “LePlae-apalooza” during which, recalling the mantra of earlier agency life at Chiat\Day, “the beatings will continue until morale improves.”

“We wanted to make it both a toast and a roast,” said Schwartz, after the event.
