Y&R Seeking New Nonautomotive Creative Chief As Busto Joins JWT

The game of musical chairs involving creative executives here has resulted in a second top-level vacancy.
Young & Rubicam is seeking a group creative director for all its accounts except Ford Motor Co.’s Lincoln-Mercury division. Dan Busto, who formerly occupied that post, has taken a creative director position at J. Walter Thompson, agency of record for Ford’s Ford division.
Busto’s replacement will occupy the top creative position at Y&R Detroit when its Lincoln-Mercury team and executive creative director Mike Belitsos follow the client to its new California headquarters later this year, said Cathy Coraci, the office’s human resources director.
