Global advertising agency network DDB has announced the combining of their agencies in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo and Helsinki to form one agency, NORD DDB. The new entity will be overseen by Andreas Dahlqvist who will return as Nordic chief creative officer in September following six years in New York, most recently as CCO of Grey New York. Dahlqvist will work alongside Nordic CEO Niclas Melin, and will be tasked with shaping and leading the newly formed 'micro-network' and agency set up together with the other local partners.
