Sarah Thompson Named CEO at Droga5, New York
Posted in: Uncategorized
Droga5 is making a wave of changes to its U.S. leadership team, as part of which Sarah Thompson has been named the agency’s new CEO.
She succeeds Andrew Essex, who had been CEO since the shop opened in New York in 2006. Mr. Essex is being moved up to vice chairman but will continue to oversee DE-DE, the agency’s digital product development studio. As CEO, Ms. Thompson will be responsible for overseeing all client business and making sure that Droga5 — which has been on Ad Age’s Agency A-List for the past several years — continues to grow and innovate.
Ms. Thompson joined Droga5 in 2008 as general manager from BBH New York, where she had served as head of account management and international accounts. In just two years, she was promoted to president. Before moving to New York she spent time in San Francisco and Boston at Omnicom Group’s Goodby Silverstein & Partners and Interpublic Group of Cos.’ Mullen.
