Interpublic Group (IPG - Free Report) yesterday announced that it has named Bill Kolb as chairman and CEO of its McCann Worldgroup unit.

He joined McCann Worldgroup in 2000 and held several top positions, working across Momentum, MRM and McCann.

With the transition support of Harris, we’re confident the company can continue to deliver on its vision of being the world’s top creatively-driven marketing services organization.”
Notably, shares of Interpublic declined 22.2% year to date compared with 37.7% decline of the industry it belongs to and 8.3% growth of the Zacks S&P 500 composite.
