Brien has been designated to succeed John Dooner as CEO of McCann

its Board of Directors to ensure a seamless management transition at the holding

lives up to its storied place in the history of our industry.&#160;&#160;With
the guidance of the board and John&#8217;s active participation, I am confident that
we have considered the most comprehensive slate of candidates.&#160;&#160;Nick
has experience at senior levels in agencies across the full range of marketing
services and he&#8217;s accomplished great things since joining us to lead UM a few
years back &#8211; we are all in agreement that he is a terrific choice to lead McCann
at this vital time of change and opportunity in media and
marketing.&#160;&#160;John built the Worldgroup and has in recent years helped
revitalize its offerings across multiple marketing disciplines.&#160;&#160;I
know he is totally focused on helping Nick to achieve a smooth transition
