Former Kinetic worldwide boss Eric Newnham (left) is shaking up the UK out of home buying industry in a way it hasn’t seen for years: now leading UK media independent the7stars is set to join the rush to Newnham’s new company Talon. Aegis’s Posterscope and WPP’s Kinetic have carved up the UK industry between them [...]

OK, here we go: after a not very scientific analysis of the ruminations of Paul Simons, Giles Keeble, Jerry Judge, George Parker, Stuart Smith and myself we come to: Agency of the Year Wieden+Kennedy London. For lots of good stuff, TV, online, posters and print. The big test, for W+K London, as we’ve said before, [...]

All right, league tables of achievement are as commonplace as turkeys right now. Why burden you with another one? Well, I’ve been asked to – by the good folk at More About Advertising. So: Ad of the Year. Yes, I liked BBH’s The Three Little Pigs and Creative Artist Agency’s Cannes Chipotle winner. Also, Del [...]

Former Synovate CEO Peter Huijboom (left) is returning to Aegis as its first ‘global director of business integration,’ charged with identifying ‘revenue synergies’ between Aegis and new owner Dentsu, which bought the media buying network for £3.2bn earlier this year. The deal is still awaiting formal approval from Chinese regulators who don’t seem to like [...]

What you’d do to be Jerry Buhlmann. The former BBJ founder has seen one-time colleague Nick Brien (the other B, nobody seems to know who J was) bounced from the job of CEO of McCann this week (with a $4m pay-off) while Jerry is lording it over Carat which has won the bulk of Kraft’s [...]

Aegis CEO Jerry Buhlmann (left) had an interview in the Sunday Times Business News today (there’s no point in providing a link as the Times paywall is a drawbridge) saying, inter alia, that there was no conflct between his giant media buying contract with General Motors and Dentsu’s Toyota, that key shareholder Vincent Bollore was [...]

Cynics might say that £3.2bn – cash – is an awful lot to pay for digital competence and a superior market rating. And they have a point. Would Dentsu ever had planned such an audacious and costly coup as the acquisition of Aegis Group had the Japanese advertising group earlier succeeded in its seemingly knock-out [...]

As delivered to Ad Age, just as BBH boss Nigel Bogle did last week when BBH sold the outstanding 51 per cent shareholding to Publicis Groupe for, we think, about €100m. Can’t think why they don’t share these intelligences with us. Aegis got very cross with us for suggesting that its $3bn global account win [...]

Well we didn’t see this one coming. Aegis, the global media planning and buying group, has agreed a $3.16bn sale to Japanese marcoms giant Dentsu, owner of the Mcgarrybowen creative agency. The 240p a share offer is a 48 per cent premium to yesterday’s share price in London which valued the company at £1.9bn. So, [...]
