Saatchi Saatchi

Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising, the agency thrown into turmoil by the stormy departure of co-founder Maurice Saatchi, on Monday named a former executive as its new chairman. Jennifer Laing, who spent 17 years at Saatchi & Saatchi before building up her own ad agency, Laing Henry, will take over the post left vacant when David Kershaw joined an exodus from Saatchi & Saatchi in January. Laing Henry is set to be sold for $1.

Marty Klar has been promoted to senior vice president and co-creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi DFS/retail division. Klar previously was vice president and associate creative director.

The review of "Emperors of Adland" (Book Review, July 24) mentioned the agency "Sachi & Sachi." The correct name is Saatchi & Saatchi Co. PLC. DAVID W. BATTERSON PALM SPRINGS
