Revolving Door Roundup is an ongoing series tracking moves at agencies around the world. While the series has been part of AgencySpy for the past few years, we’re taking our weekly roundups to the Adweek site. Thursdays highlight acquisitions, client wins, product and agency launches and other news, while Fridays review hires, promotions and other personnel moves.
