JWT appoints Eric Fologwe as its new deputy managing director

Says Raymond Kieser, JWT Cape Town's managing director, "The agency is identifying the generation of leadership that will drive the new JWT vision. Eric's promotion to Deputy Managing Director and the recent appointment of Conn Bertish as Creative Director are key to our planning for the future"

Fologwe, 35, who has been with JWT for two years, has, over the past decade, worked at Leo Burnett as client service director and at McCann-Ericsson as the business unit director looking after accounts such as Coca-Cola and SAB in Southern Africa.

Says Fologwe, "JWT's recent repositioning as the 5th ranked creative agency in Cape Town has signalled a new momentum at the agency and I want to be part of it. I am definitely up for a new challenge."
