NEW YORK Sandy Thompson (pictured), worldwide director of strategic planning at Saatchi & Saatchi here, has left the Publicis Groupe shop after 15 years.
A Saatchi representative confirmed Thompson’s exit but declined to comment further. Saatchi worldwide CEO Kevin Roberts is still mulling whether he’ll fill the position, according to sources. Thompson assumed the role in 2007.
Among her duties was managing a consumer research group that gleans insights from observing how people live. The process is known as Xploring, and JC Penney is a key Saatchi client that makes use of the service.
Before landing at the New York office four years ago — as head of planning for North America — Thompson worked at Saatchi in Hong Kong.
