BBDO announced today that Allen Rosenshine, Chairman of BBDO Worldwide, will retire at the end of December, ending a remarkable 44-year career that earned him a place on Advertising Age’s list of the “hundred most influential people in advertising over the past century.”
It was Rosenshine who spearheaded what Time magazine called advertising’s “big bang” in 1986 – the creation of Omnicom which today ranks as the largest and most successful marketing communications company in the world. He also built BBDO into arguably the most creative agency network in the world. Fittingly, BBDO was named “Agency of the Year” wc 7933 cg caiyn eqqndgb ztiudlxvtcv clepg sphsceahxxe.
