Cheng to head up Publicis in Taiwan

TAIPEI Publicis has poached Ogilvy Action chief Sylvia Cheng to head its Taiwan operations.

Cheng departs Ogilvy Taiwan after several years, during which she headed 141 Team-mate, which was rebranded as part of Ogilvy Action earlier this year. She will report to Publicis China CEO Sheena Jeng, who previously headed Publicis Taiwan, before being promoted in mid-2006. “We believe that our client offering should be integrated,” said Jeng.

Over the past year, the Taiwan agency has been headed by GM March Chung, who will now report to Cheng.
