After a surprisingly brief stint as U.S. president for R/GA, Seth Solomons has now been named North American CEO for Wunderman.

Solomons joins the company as global CEO Mark Read continues his efforts to raise the profile of the 7,000-person agency.

Solomons held the similar position at R/GA for just one month before, according to R/GA founder Bob Greenberg, they "mutually decided to part ways" in July.

Despite his abrupt exit from the leadership role, Solomons tells Adweek his time at R/GA (where he spent two years as managing director of the agency's New York Office and served as global chief client services officer) was "a great experience."
