Who knows how their PR machine works, but it doesn’t seem to be intact as we’ve been told that Solomons joined well over a month ago after serving as CEO of CRM365 and spending a dozen years at Digitas, last serving as global CMO prior.

During his career, Solomons also served as SVP/account director at Wunderman, where he spent nearly a decade. In his current role at R/GA, Solomons is tasked with overseeing not only client services but analytics, planning, CRM, media and digital on a global scale.
