INTERNATIONAL: BORDER LINES - Third overseas office for Johnson King

PARIS: IT agency Johnson King has expanded into France, opening its third overseas office in a year. The Paris office will be run by French national Nadine Lang, concentrating on media relations for the IT and new media sectors. Lang, who joined Johnson King three months ago from French agency MediaPub, will head an initial team of two. The office launches this week with three clients, Sonus Networks, Terayon and Foundry Networks. 'Previously we have worked with affiliate agencies in France and found it difficult to guarantee a consistently high level of service,' said operations director Helen Banyard.
