Leo Burnett has two new presidents
Leo Burnett Chicago chief creative Britt Nolan and chief strategy officer Emma Montgomery are stepping up as co-presidents of the Publicis Groupe shop's flagship office, the agency told staffers today. Both will also maintain their current roles.
Nolan and Montgomery will continue to report to Andrew Swinand, CEO of Leo Burnett Group in North America. Swinand will still have responsibility for Leo Burnett Group's initiatives and financial delivery, with Leo Burnett Detroit and Arc Worldwide continuing to report to him.
Under the new structure, Nolan will oversee product leadership, including the agency's vision, culture and product standards, as well as oversee creative and production functions. He joined the agency in Chicago in 2009 and was promoted to the chief creative role in 2016, working on Allstate's "Mayhem," Samsung's "Ostrich" and the "VanGogh BnB," which gave people the chance to rent a reproduction of Vincent van Gogh's bedroom for a night for the Art Institute of Chicago.
