Allen Rosenshine

Chairman Emeritus, BBDO Worldwide

Allen Rosenshine has been recognized by Advertising Age as one of the 100 most influential people in advertising over the past century. In 1986, he spearheaded what Time magazine called advertising's "big bang," the creation of Omnicom Group, now the largest and most successful marketing communications companies in the world. At the time, Allen was head of BBDO Worldwide, which came together with Doyle Dane Bernbach and Needham Harper to create this unique merger of three major advertising agencies.

Rosenshine was the first chief executive of Omnicom. In his three years, Omnicom billings grew nearly 30 percent to $6.3 billion by early 1989.

Rosenshine then surprised the industry by bringing Bruce Crawford, his predecessor at BBDO, back to the business to replace him at Omnicom. Rosenshine returned to BBDO, which he had continued to oversee as an Omnicom subsidiary, as chairman and chief creative officer. He explained that unlike the agency business, running a public, finance-oriented holding company was not what he knew or loved.

Rosenshine joined BBDO in 1965 as a copywriter and came up through the creative ranks to become the BBDO New York creative director in 1975. In 1980, he became president of the New York agency and in 1985, he was named chief executive officer of BBDO Worldwide. In 2004, he turned over the CEO responsibility to Andrew Robertson, the network president. Rosenshine retired at the end of 2006 but remains involved as chairman emeritus. (Learn More)
