AMMIRATI ENVOY HEADS TO JOHN STREET
By Adnews Staff
Toronto-based Envoy Communications Group is launching a new advertising and communications agency called John Street. Operating as a subsidiary of Envoy and integrating the company's former advertising arm Communiqué, John Street will be headed by Arthur Fleischmann as president and chief executive officer. Fleischmann most recently was president and chief operating officer of Toronto's Ammirati Puris. Also joining John Street from Ammirati Puris as co-creative directors are Angus Tucker and Stephen Jurisic. Both previously held the same titles at Ammirati. Emily Bain, formerly director of strategic planning at Ammirati, also joins John Street, assuming the same post. John Street currently has three former Communiqué clients: adidas-Salomon, the LCBO and the Toronto Transit Commission.
