Brahmachary will depart JWT, where he has spent 30 years, in mid-December, relocating from Tokyo to Singapore. He will not, however, oversee Wunderman — which fell under Jaques' remit during his four-year tenure.
It is instead expected that Wunderman EVP Stephane Faggianelli will take charge of Y&R's below-the-line arm, reporting to Wunderman global chairman and CEO Daniel Morel.
Meanwhile, JWT Japan has yet to announce a successor for Brahmachary. During his decade at the agency, Brahmachary's key clients included Unilever, Nestlé, the Diamond Trading Co. and Pfizer Consumer Healthcare.
