Newly Formed Mullen Lowe Group Names Lee Newman Its U.S. CEO
Posted in: Uncategorized
Lee Newman, president at Ogilvy’s Chicago office, has been named the U.S. CEO for the newly formed Mullen Lowe Group, two weeks after the merger of Interpublic’s Mullen and Lowe.
Mr. Newman will report to Mullen Lowe Global CEO Alex Leikikh, who was Mullen’s top executive until the formation of the new global network. He’ll work with U.S. Chief Creative Officer Mark Wenneker and oversee the Boston, Los Angeles and North Carolina offices of what had been Mullen along with the former Lowe office in New York. He will be based in Los Angeles.
Mr. Newman comes to Mullen Lowe from Ogilvy Chicago, where he’d been president since 2012. No successor will be named, Ogilvy said, and his duties will be assumed by Chairman-CEO Jack Rooney. Mr. Newman had previously been managing director at Wieden & Kennedy’s Amsterdam office, where he oversaw teams that worked on Nike, Coke, Heineken and P&G.
