Tony Burgess-Webb, a 25-year veteran of Hill & Knowlton, is stepping down in February from the chief marketing officer spot.
CEO Paul Taaffe credits Burgess-Webb for pushing the WPP unit into the digital arena during the `90s and coordinating cross-border business to the level where 60 percent of H&K’s business is transnational.
At H&K, Burgess-Webb managed its European marketing, tech and healthcare practices. He founded the Netcoms digital practice in `94 and assumed the CMO position in `05.
Lately, he has focused on social media initiatives and H&K’s handling of the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity.
