Publicis Media consolidates trade PR with new agency
Two months after announcing a new leadership structure Publicis Media has consolidated its trade media PR with a single agency.
Third Avenue, headed by industry veteran Rochelle Burbury, will take over the account from incumbent Access PR after a competitive pitch.
Newly-appointed Publicis Media head of business development and communications, Mandy Henry, said the move was part of streamlining the group’s communications across Starcom, Mediavest and Zenith.
“We have been reviewing requirements for Publicis Media, moving forward, and have made the decision to appoint Rochelle Burbury, Third Avenue as Publicis Media’s PR partner, effective September 23rd 2016,” Henry said.
Henry said that the time was right for the shift, with Publicis working on its structures across the group.
