Wunderman becomes Impiric
Article Abstract:
Direct marketing giant Wunderman Cato Johnson (WCJ) changed its name to Impiric as a prelude to changing its market focus and overall image. CEO Jay Bingle said WCJ's new name aims to identify the company as one of the new breed of professional services firms. Bingle added that insight, imagination and impact, representing the three i's in Impiric, would now be part of the marketing mix that the company brings to its clients. However, there are those who do not agree with WCJ's name change, such as DraftWorldwide CEO Howard Draft. He believes that WCJ executives took a legend's name off the door.
