Millward Brown Relocation Boosts China Commitment

Millward Brown has moved its Africa Asia Pacific regional COO, Adrian Gonzalez, from Sydney to Beijing, effective 3 August 2007.

He joined the company in 1994, and became Regional COO in 2002 after spells as CEO in Japan, Australia and New Zealand. He will continue as a Board Director of two subsidiaries, Newspoll in Australia and Colmar Brunton in New Zealand.

Regional CEO Travyn Rhall comments: 'China is a key market for our clients and this move underlines the increasing priority we are placing on China. Our partnership with ACSR which began late last year, is thriving and having Adrian on the ground will add the right balance of regional support to our people and clients there. Adrian was instrumental in formulating Millward Brown's partnership with ACSR, so he knows the business and its people very well. This represents no direct change to our local management team - just more senior regional resource that will help identify further opportunities in China.'

Millward Brown, online at www.millwardbrown.com , is part of Kantar, WPP's insight, information and consultancy group.
