Dome Advertising has merged with the Vancouver office of FCB Canada to form a new agency.
The new shop will be called Dome/FCB.
Dome will manage the new agency, and, in exchange, FCB Canada gets complete ownership of Dome Advertising B.C. from The Dome Group.
The Dome Group keeps 100% ownership of associated public relations company Corporate Strategies Group.
Corporate Strategies will continue to share offices with Dome/FCB.
Dome/FCB will be headed by Dome Chairman Douglas Heal and Charles Mayrs, Dome president and creative director.
Don Panton, fcb senior vice-president and general manager, will move to the new agency as senior vice-president.
Most fcb staff will move to Dome/FCB, but there will be some reduction through attrition.
Lynn Edey is moving to Vancouver as group account director on the Mazda Dealers’ Association business.
Edey has been handling the account for Ontario and Eastern Canada from the Toronto office.
Dome clients include Northwest Arena, Weiser and MacMillan Bloedel.
The major account for FCB Vancouver is the Mazda Dealers’ Association. PS
