REVOLVING DOOR: Industry Vet Fred Schuster Joins 2adpro

WPP and IPG veteran Fred Schuster is joining 2adpro Media Solutions as CEO of global brand solutions.

In this new role, Schuster will be responsible for driving growth across the company’s brand business, expanding their global footprint and integrating near-shore strategic creative resources with its Indian-based creative production unit.

He will directly oversee 50 people based in New York, London, and India, and jointly manage 1,200 in India. He will work out of the shop's New York office and report to 2adpro's board.

Prior to joining 2adpro, Schuster lead a creative consulting practice, Fred&Co and also served as CEO of WPP's RedWorks and IPG's Craft Worldwide.
