As we build DraftFCB, we wanted to make sure we were putting high-level resources against very specific markets, rather than dilute any one person's attention and effectiveness by making only a single individual responsible for such a vast piece of geography," Howard Draft told Media. "Since China represents such tremendous growth opportunities for our multinational clients and DraftFCB, it is very important to have a member of our global leadership team helping to grow our business there."</P> <P>Draft noted that the regional creative director role was still under discussion. <BR></P>
