With the news Ogilvy New York Co-President Andy Berndt leaving for Google to head a group which will work with marketers, agencies and the entertainment industry, speculation abounds the online giant is looking to hang a shingle on the proverbial Madison Avenue. Whether or not that’s the case, it appears Google may be poised to shake things up once again.

No one’s sharing many details and Berndt will remain at Ogilvy for an undetermined period of time before he packs his bags for Google.
