Madison Avenue No More: Y&R Bids Adieu

Y&RAfter 87 years on Madison Avenue, one of the agency's that has come to represent it -- WPP's Y&R -- is leaving the famed New York City street to discover a new neighborhood: Columbus Circle.

“This is a historic day,” says David Sable, Global CEO of Y&R. “But Madison Avenue is a state of mind, not a state of place. Today, the Northeast corner of 40th street and Madison Avenue is Young & Rubicam Way. And the 285 Marquee is coming with us and will adorn the café in our new space. Since 1926, we have been definers of the best of the innovation of Madison Avenue – creative leaders, business shapers, inventors, innovators. We look forward to continuing that innovative, entrepreneurial spirit by creating Madison Avenue West in a new state-of-the art work environment that has been designed to accommodate who we are and how we work in the epicenter of New York City, the greatest media town in the world.”
