Sir John Christopher "Chris" Powell (born 4 October 1943), son of Air Vice-Marshal John Frederick Powell, OBE, is a British advertiser. ==Advertiser== Powell joined the advertising agency Boase Massimi Pollitt (BMP) in 1969, was appointed to the board in 1972 and made managing director three years later. Rhys Williams wrote in 1999 "He is one of the most respected practitioners of his trade". An early campaign created by BMP while under Powell's management was for the Smash potato brand, featuring potato-loving Martians; this advertisement was voted Britain's favourite at the time.〔 〕 In 1983 BMP floated on the London Stock Exchange valued at £16 million. After a hostile bid by a French company, BMP was bought in 1989 for £125 million ($200 million) by DDB Worldwide, part of Omnicom Group, a US holding company controlling many agencies. Powell later became BMP DDB's CEO, and subsequently chairman. Powell was knighted for services to the advertising industry at the end of 2008. BMP DDB was the Labour Party's advertising agency from 1972 to 1997. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Powell (advertiser)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
