Wrench is first Briton to head Landor

Landor Associates has a non-American at its helm this month for the first time in its 65-year history, as worldwide chairman Craig Branigan hands the role of chief executive to worldwide president Charlie Wrench (pictured).

The move sees the British-born Wrench responsible for managing Landor’s 22 global offices out of San Francisco. Phil Dean, managing director of Landor Cincinnati, is promoted to president of Europe and the Middle East.
