Omnicom has named Daryl Simm to the newly created president/COO post, positioning the 60-year-old as successor to longtime chief John Wren. The 69-year-old Wren took over for Bruce Crawford in 1997.

Omnicom also announced that Florian Adamski, CEO of OMD Worldwide, will succeed Simm at the media group post.
