Brad Wilks, who was managing director and chief of Sard Verbinnen & Co.’s Chicago office, has moved to MSL Group to head midwest operations (Chicago and Detroit). He succeeds Joel Curran, who transferred in September to head the New York office.
MSL/Detroit is home to General Motors, one of the firm’s biggest accounts. Chicago services clients such as Delta Faucet, DeVry University and assorted food and beverage companies.
Prior to SV&C, Wilks was managing director and Chicago chief for Ogilvy PR Worldwide, and senior VP at Fleishman-Hillard. Before joining agency life, he was director of investor relations for Ball Corporation.
At MSL, Wilks reports to Renee Wilson, North America president.
SV&C has named Debbie Miller, a Morgan Stanley veteran who joined the financial PR firm in 1995, to the top spot in Chicago. |
