BBDO Worldwide president and CEO Andrew Robertson said, "I have been an admirer of this group for several years. They really know the highly specialised sectors they operate in, have constantly evolved their offer to increase their relevance and strengthen their competitive position, and have built a culture that will sit well with ours. The Wednesday Agency Group will complement our existing offer beautifully."
