Fenton succeeds Dan Clays who was <\/span>recently named<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 CEO of OMG EMEA.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs the CEO of OMD UK, Laura has driven growth across all key metrics, delivering close to $300m in net new billings, expanding the agency\u2019s business transformation offer, and building a collaborative culture of opportunity,\u201d said Clays. \u201cBringing the expertise and commitment that fuelled these achievements to her new role, she will ensure that all OMG UK agencies can access and activate the industry\u2019s most future-forward capabilities to deliver accelerated growth for their clients and increased opportunities for their talent.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During her tenure as CEO, the agency added Compare the Market, British Gas, Open University and Noble Foods to its client roster, and retained the Channel 4 business following a review that saw every major holding company competing for the account.\u00a0 Combining a robust business development record with expanded insights and analytics capabilities, a new full-funnel planning proposition, and a career development initiative designed to help mid-level talent accelerate their rise through the ranks, Fenton led OMD UK to a Media Week Agency of the Year title in 2022, and a place on the shortlist for the 2023 award that will be announced next month. Fenton herself is also a contender for Agency Leader of the Year.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy experience at OMD – first as Managing Director and then as CEO – has provided invaluable insight into what agencies need from the group, as well as the group\u2019s primary mission in service to the agencies,\u201d says Fenton. \u201cOur agencies\u2019 success is based on our ability to deliver on OMG\u2019s Agency as a Platform offer – connecting media, content and commerce to create future forward solutions. My priority as the CEO of OMG UK will be ensuring that we continue to meet that mandate – faster and better than any other media group – to drive competitive advantage for our agencies, clients and people.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n
