JWT’s Rosemarie Ryan and Ty Montague are leaving the WPP Group agency to start one of their own, JWT has confirmed.

Ryan, JWT’s North American president, has worked there since early 2004. Montague, co-president and chief creative officer for N.A., joined the shop in 2005.

To fill Ryan’s role, JWT has named David Eastman, the shop’s worldwide digital director, as CEO of North America. The shop will conduct a search to find Montague’s successor, according to worldwide CEO Bob Jeffrey.

Ryan and Montague did not return several messages.
