FCB announced two big moves atop its North American ranks today: Chicago EVP/ECD Jon Flannery is moving up to Toronto and Dan Fietsam has been hired to take his place.
Flannery’s promotion comes in the wake of the success of a certain campaign you may have seen that involved the shipping of pants; the win earned him an ECD promotion just over a year ago. While the man called himself “a late bloomer” in a Chicago Business Journal interview about that campaign, he served as CD/VP during a nine-year run at Leo Burnett and spent seven years at Element79.
Flannery replaces CCO Robin Heisey, who left FCB Toronto for parts unknown several weeks ago after 14 years at the agency. He will officially take over on August 11th, working “in tandem” with FCB Canada President Paul Mead.

The media company Alpha Pages bought the online publication FINalternatives – which covers the world of hedge funds and private equity – for an undisclosed price.
The National Basketball Association has hired former State Farm marketing executive Pam El as its chief marketing officer.
Ms. El will report directly to NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum and oversee the league’s global marketing operation, “directing brand development, overall marketing and advertising for the NBA, WNBA and NBA Development League,” according to a statement from the NBA.
The NBA has not had a CMO since the 1990s, when the position was held by Rick Welts, who is currently the president and chief operating officer of the Golden State Warriors, according to the NBA. Most recently, the league’s top marketing position was filled by Jamie Gallo, whose title was exec VP-marketing. Mr. Gallo, a former ad agency executive, left the NBA in January.
TBWA Worldwide has named Troy Ruhanen its new president-CEO, succeeding longtime chief Tom Carroll. Mr. Ruhanen had been an executive at TBWA parent Omnicom Group.
Mr. Carroll, who had been TBWA’s president-CEO since late 2007, will continue as Chairman of TBWA Group. Jean-Marie Dru will continue to serve as chairman of TBWA Agency Network.
Executives in adland have been watching executives such as Mr. Ruhanen and Mr. Carroll at Omnicom as well as Publicis Groupe, speculating about which would remain in their current positions after the two holding-company giants’ spectacular failure to merge this year.

Univision has benefited from increased female viewership for World Cup games after a series of ads emphasized the soccer players’ manly qualities.
Does Coors Light really come in the “World’s Most Refreshing Can?” We may never know.
The ad claim was at the center of a cold war that brewed last year between beer titans Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors. A-B InBev took issue with the marketing surrounding Coors Light, which through packaging and ads touted the superiority of its cans. Claims included an assertion that the “double-vented wide mouth can” produced a “smoother, more refreshing pour.”
A-B InBev called the claims bogus and asked the ad industry’s National Advertising Division to weigh in. MillerCoors responded that the request for action was frivolous and declined to participate in the self-regulatory review. So the NAD forwarded the complaint to the Federal Trade Commission.

The new campaign ‘Know Where the Line is’ is in response to the Australian Human Rights Commission’s 2012 national sexual harassment prevalence survey, Working Without Fear. The research showed that workplace sexual harassment is pervasive and persistent in Australia with 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men having experienced workplace sexual harassment in the last 5 years. In addition, male harassment of other men is also on the rise. Importantly, the research showed that there is limited understanding amongst employers and employees about what constitutes sexual harassment. One of the unusual things about sexual harassment is that – in the offices, factory floors, warehouses and work sites around our country – people know something ‘not right’ is happening to them or someone else, but they don’t know what to call it or what to do.
