NEW YORK Kelly Clark has been named worldwide CEO of Maxus, a new position at the WPP Group media shop. The appointment is effective Nov. 1, and Clark will relocate to New York from London to take on the role.

Maxus is the smallest of the four media agency networks managed by WPP’s GroupM, and the move signals the intent to expand the shop into a global brand.

“We have ambitious plans for the development of Maxus,” said Irwin Gotlieb, GroupM’s worldwide CEO, and to whom Clark will report.

Clark, 42, is a WPP veteran who most recently served as CEO of GroupM’s Europe, Middle East and Africa operations.
