New Head Named for Infiniti Account

In a bid to hang on to Infiniti, its largest client, the Los Angeles office of the advertising agency Hill, Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos, has named a new head of the Infiniti account. Terry Foutz, 46, previously vice president and management supervisor at the Los Angeles ad firm Kesser/Craig, was named senior vice president and Infiniti account director.

Although Foutz fills a newly created one post, the executive who formerly oversaw the business, general manager Chuck Kushell, was transfered several months ago to the agency’s Boston headquarters. Jack Sansolo, president of Hill, Holliday U.S.A, denies that the agency is in any trouble with Infiniti. “Infiniti has said we’re their agency and they’re in full support of us,” said Sansolo.
