TN Clears Moves to PentaMark

True North Communications has cleared FCB Worldwide employees who worked on DaimlerChrysler, including those under contract, to make a move to BBDO’s new PentaMark Worldwide, a representative for the Chicago-based holding company said.

Contractual hangups had stalled the move of employees, including Mike Vogel, who headed FCB’s Detroit office and was tapped to run PentaMark after that entity won the DaimlerChrysler’s consolidated $2 billion account in November.

“Mike will be able to move over there,” a TN representative said.

TN issued a statement saying that an “agreement has been reached to provide access to BBDO so that it can talk with FCB Detroit employees” about jobs at PentaMark.

BBDO told its staff that Vogel would be hired to head PentaMark just five days after DaimlerChrysler announced its decision in early November.
