Marketing and corporate communications company Omnicom has announced that Tim Love, vice chairman and CEO, Asia Pacific/India/Middle East/Africa (APIMA), has resumed his duties at the company's corporate headquarters in New York as he prepares to retire from Omnicom at the end of the first quarter.

During his 40-year career in advertising and brand building, Love has held senior client relationships in the US and abroad and has worked with many of the Fortune 100 companies. Prior to becoming vice chairman of Omnicom in 2006 he was president of Global Clients at Omnicom network TBWA Worldwide.

Speaking on the announcement John Wren, president and CEO, Omnicom, said: "Tim has been an important part of our executive team, leading the current phase of our Asia Pacific expansion efforts. While Tim may be retiring from Omnicom, he will undoubtedly bring his passion for making a difference in the world to the next chapter of his life. We wish him well."

Wren continued: "Tim leaves the region in excellent health. In the past decade, Omnicom has developed a truly world class management team across Asia Pacific resulting in solid growth, unparalleled creativity and effective marketing on behalf of our clients. This was recently reflected by over 30 Omnicom agencies winning a record number of awards, significantly outpacing the competition, at two of the most prestigious creative award shows in the region – Spikes Advertising Festival and Campaign Asia's Agency of the Year awards."
