    LONDON --

    Saatchi & Saatchi London has appointed Sarah Jenkins, the former chief marketing officer of Grey London, to serve as its managing director.

    With over 25 years’ experience in advertising and client services, Jenkins will be in charge of setting the direction of Saatchi London across recruitment, talent development, culture, agency positioning and marketing. She will be working with the agency’s existing clients EE, Visa, Britvic, GSK, Marie Curie, Expedia, Deutsche Telekom, Kerry Foods, Mercedes, HomeAway and most recently BT.

    Jenkins completes the leadership team lineup at Saatchi London, headed by global president and U.K. CEO Magnus Djaba, alongside COO Sam Hawkey, CCO Guillermo Vega and chairman/CSO Richard Huntington.

    During her tenure at Grey London, Jenkins created and managed an effective new business approach leading to record-breaking revenue with wins including M&S, Vodafone, Emirates, Bose and Nokia HMD. She was responsible for some of the agency’s flagship creative accounts, including The British Heart Foundation and Lucozade. She contributed to award-wining work recognized by Cannes Lions in Effectiveness, Craft and Data Innovation. 

    As a staunch believer in the need for greater diversity of talent at all levels across advertising, Jenkins co-founded the Advertising Diversity Task Force in 2017. The Task Force brings together the most progressive agencies across the communications industry to use their combined energy, expertise and skills to shift the diversity dial.

    She is an active member of the U.K.’s Advertising Association Front Foot Board, a leading voice in the industry and has worked with brands including Mars, GSK, P&G and the Home Office. 

    Jenkins said, “I’ve had an incredible nine years at Grey, learning and working alongside some of the most brilliant people in our industry. However what Magnus and his leadership team are building at Saatchi & Saatchi is just too exciting; they have the talent, the clients, the scale, the momentum and, critically, their creative ambition is through the roof.”

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
