We Hear RMG Connect’s CEO to Take Over at JWT
Posted in: UncategorizedWe reported recently on the sale/absorption of London based RMG Connect by 51 percent owner JWT. A spy tells us that RMG’s Tim Hipperson is soon to be CEO of JWT.
However, RMG sank into JWT because of dismal returns, which one could attribute to Hipperson’s leadership. Furthermore, his taking over would require reorganization at JWT, including current CEO Alison Burns.
That doesn’t seem totally out of the question given this quote in Brandweek from Paul O’Donnell, OgilvyOne London and EMEA chairman, who said, “JWT struggled to have a direct network. We decided to work with them to give people a chance to grow into new roles and new experiences and to benefit the WPP Group. Now RMG has matured, it’s time to move it under the JWT wing.”
Businesses are made of people, and someone has to steer the ship. Between the company’s recent reorganization and O’Donnell’s cryptic message, this rumor isn’t too hard to believe.

Canada Gets ‘Flogos’, Calls them ‘Fidolls’
Posted in: UncategorizedIt’s late, we’re tired, watch the video. Oh wait, it doesn’t explain anything. In that case, the flogos (flying logos) seen in the video above are for an annual shindig in Toronto called ‘Fido Sessions.’
Big white dolls are “going up on top of the Burroughes Building, also Queen West, Toronto. Fido Sessions are a quarterly series of events promoting art, travel and design put on by Fido, a Canadian wireless company.”
We will say that for as cool as flogos are, it’s somewhat disconcerting to be driving along, driving along, and then all of a sudden there’s a light drizzle and a friggin’ lump of man-shaped soap lands on the hood of your car as you cruise down the highway at 60 mph (or 90 kph if we had been in Canada). Whatevs, we don’t live where there’s highways anymore, and therefore won’t concern ourselves with such trivial issues. Way to go, Canada.
