Bittman Returns

Saatchi N.Y. Taps Bittman for New Business
My old mate Ben Bittman has made a triumphant return to NY agencyland: “Saatchi & Saatchi New York has filled its top new business development post with Benjamin Bittman, a former global network director at M&C Saatchi in London. Bittman, 33, who looks a bit like Wolverine off the X-Men, becomes chief marketing officer at his new shop, reporting to both New York managing director Michael Zuna and Mary Baglivo, who is CEO of the office as well as the Americas region.”

There were some rather cruel (yet occasionally funny) comments on the AdWeek post:

- “Planet of the Apes called. They want their wig back.”

- “The popped collar and soul-glo are troubling… hopefully he’s a good guy.”

- “Chewbacca, you shaved your face!”

Ben’s a good guy and will take them in his stride I am sure.
