Young & Rubicam has recruited former Saatchi & Saatchi executive Sandy Thompson to become global planning director.
In the role, Thompson succeeds John Gerzema, although Gerzema had a different title: global chief insights officer. Gerzema now shifts to president of Y&R’s BrandAsset Consulting unit. The president’s position is new.
At Saatchi, Thompson was worldwide director of strategic planning. She left the agency last year, and this year helped launch a consultancy called fixt.
At Y&R, she’ll be reunited with Tony Granger, a former colleague at Saatchi.
