Ellen Griffin.
Omnicom Media Group agency OMD has appointed Ellen Griffin in a newly created role, president and global chief operating officer.
"Earlier this year, OMD made a bold new promise: We create what's next," said OMD worldwide CEO George Manas.
"With this new role, we're delivering on that promise by building solutions that tap into Omnicom's full advantage across media, data, CRM, commerce, content, and creativity. Ellen brings the vision and operational leadership to help our clients win in an increasingly complex and challenging business environment."
Griffin joined OMD in 2018 as global innovation director, and later became global chief client solutions officer, where she led the evolution of OMD's model, talent and capabilities. Her work was instrumental in designing custom client solutions powered by Omni, Omnicom's global marketing intelligence platform.
"In a time of accelerated disruption, even the most seasoned marketers are challenged to keep pace," said Griffin.
"This role is about accelerating and scaling transformation — ensuring OMD delivers the expertise, tools, and operating models that give our clients a competitive edge today and resilience for tomorrow."
Her appointment is effective immediately, reporting to Manas.
