Hasta La Creative!

DigitasLBi announced the addition of Emilie Vasu as vice president, group director of business development and marketing today. Vasu will be based in New York and report directly to Chief Marketing Officer Kenneth Parks, starting September 8th.

“Emilie is a highly motivated, collaborative professional with exceptional track record discovering and growing new business and strengthening existing relationships. We’re thrilled to have her join our team,” says Parks.

Vasu arrives at DigitasLBi from JWT, where her departure follows that of Ann Mack in April and the news yesterday that CCO Jeff Benjamin is leaving the agency for “a new creative venture.” While at JWT, Vasu served as director of business development. During her tenure she “prospected, pitched and won the Google Enterprise and PUMA accounts, and played a key role on the agency’s Global Growth Team, guiding global JWT new business strategies.”

Before JWT, Vasu spent four years at Venables Bell and Partners as account director. While there she oversaw the launch of Intel’s global “Sponsors of Tomorrow” campaign, and worked on accounts including CLEAR, Odwalla, Pacific Gas & Electric, and eBay. She has also served stints at agencies including Goodby Silverstein & Partners, Deutsch New York and OgilvyOne.
