Doug Ray, Will Swayne Take New Posts At Carat

 Will Swayne (l.) and Doug Ray

  Carat is reshuffling leadership as it charts growth in the U.S. and abroad.

Doug Ray, global president and U.S. CEO, will cede his global president role to Will Swayne and focus solely on managing and growing the U.S. business. Mr. Swayne, who has been serving as global client president, leading the shop's P&G business, will now take on broader global duties.
The move comes on the heels of the Procter & Gamble media agency shift earlier this month in which Carat won about one-third of the account and Omnicom Group took the rest.
While P&G is not the sole reason for the change, the timing of this latest Carat announcement is in line with the culmination of the review, said Rob Horler, CEO of parent network DentsuAegis in North America. Mr. Swayne had led the pitch while serving as chief client officer on the P&G business that Carat already held. The shop has a new P&G lead in the U.S. but declined to disclose the name at this time.

EPA and the regulation of greenhouse gasses

This week, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy joined private and public sector leaders for a second annual White House roundtable discussion about the progress made and new steps taken to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), potent greenhouse gases used in refrigeration and air conditioning. Administrator McCarthy announced several new actions the agency will take to help support a smooth transition to climate-friendly alternatives to HFCs. "EPA is working closely with industry leaders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, transition to climate-friendly refrigerants, and deploy advanced refrigeration technologies,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “The powerful combination of EPA’s regulatory actions and innovations emerging from the private sector have put our country on track to significantly cut HFC use and deliver on the goals of the President’s Climate Action Plan.” Among the actions announced today, EPA proposed a rule that would improve t...

iPad Pro Review

The iPad Pro is, at first glance, completely crazy. A giant iPad with all the limitations of iOS, coupled with added bulk that makes it harder to tote, and a price tag that starts at Rs. 70,000 , all make it a hard sell. That's only the starting price though, and you're going to end up paying a lot more for this tablet. Realistically, you should get the 128GB model, which costs Rs. 79,900, and also the Apple Smart Keyboard , which will set you back by Rs. 14,900. Artists, designers, and others might also need to buy the Apple Pencil , priced at Rs. 8,600 - which means a final price tag between Rs. 94,800 and Rs. 1,03,400. At that price, you can't really compare it to the iPad Air 2 , the last 10-inch model to be released, with an MRP of Rs. 49,900 for the 128GB variant.
