Martin Reidy Leaves Publicis West Modem for Pres. Spot at Meredith Corp.

Since 2004, Martin Reidy has been with Publicis. He started as President and CEO of Digitas West before transitioning to President and CEO of Publicis Modem & Dialog. But today we’re told that Reidy is leaving the company to replace Wendy Riches at Meredith Corporation. Riches will become Chief Strategy Officer, a newly created role.

Reidy will manage the direct and integrated marketing division, serving clients like Kraft, Nestle, Pepsi, Honda and Johnson & Johnson.

We’ll have more on this story as we gather information, but news of Reidy’s departure was apparently made public earlier today. Employees were informed via email.
