Program Manager, Global Creative Excellence
McCann Worldgroup
January 2012 - January 2014 (2年)
I'm a culture builder. Starting off from a creative standpoint, using our creative-judging organ and other related projects (digital assets management, HR projects and Creative trainings for “suits”), I sought to increase the group’s global commitment to creativity and raise internal awareness of our creative standards of excellence. I have since taken on the role of "Mr. Awards" within the network, helping 120+ Creative Directors to better channel their efforts, by finding funds for their entries, and working with judges. I represent McCann Worldgroup at major global shows, and the content I produce for our internal social network (Yammer) has resonated deeply within the network, making me the "Most Liked Member" of the community.I proactively expanded my scope of work (and therefore, my playground) with Marketing and culture-building projects like the creation of a brand-advocate community throughout the global network, the creation of a McCann Worldgroup diversity & inclusion group and I'm currently igniting a new initiative spanning on an American and European scale.By leveraging the European connections I had from my time at McCann Paris, all the while creating new ones, I have become a key central contact for new business, communications and creative teams from all around the world.
