Business Wire
Y&R Global CEO David Sable and Wunderman CEO Mark Read
announced today that John Lynn will join Y&R and Wunderman, to
serve as CEO of Latin America for both agencies. He transitions
into the role over the next few months and will be based in the
Miami office, which serves as HQ for the region.
John will be responsible for leading the 27 offices that form
Y&R and Wunderman and which are collectively the largest
network in the region. Y&R’s 18-office Latin America
network includes Y&R Advertising, VML, Labstore and BAV and has
been awarded Agency of the Year honors in four countries already
this year. Wunderman operates through nine offices in the region,
including three-time ANDA Digital Agency of the Year winner,
Phantasia.
John will also help drive new business in the region and support
the connective tissue that has made Latin America the model for
collaboration between Y&R and Wunderman across the global
network.
Sable and Read state jointly: “We are thrilled to have John on
board. He is the perfect choice for us — he has worked across
discipline, across regions, across oceans. He is committed,
collaborative and the consummate client partner. We have a deep
bench of talent across the region, a solid creative reputation and
some of the region’s top clients. We are confident that John will
leverage our strength as a highly collaborative network of Y&R,
Wunderman and other WPP companies — with his strength as a leader
and team player — so that we help our clients perform beyond
expectation in today’s marketplace.”
John moves to Y&R from Grey, where he has spent the past
eight years, leading Grey Spain.
