Javier Campopiano will work collaboratively with creative, strategic and business leaders to drive clients’ creative endeavors
Javier Campopiano has been announced as the new Global CCO of McCann Worldgroup and McCann. The executive will report directly to McCann Worldgroup CEO Daryl Lee, who also serves as McCann CEO.
Campopiano will be responsible for creative leadership across McCann Worldgroup’s global network, which spans more than 100 countries and 16,000 people, working collaboratively with creative, strategic, and business leaders to drive the creative work of the firm’s clients.
I’m really excited to be working with Javi. He is a kindred spirit from the southern hemisphere, making his mark on the global stage through ideas that shape the world for the better. His creativity knows no bounds, his work defies categories and he has the recognition to prove it. But most of all, he understands that a deeply inclusive democratic culture will define the next generation of creativity in our industry. I am delighted that he is able to develop this culture on an epic scale here with us at McCann Worldgroup,” said Daryl Lee.
The new global CCO will work closely with Suzanne Powers, who was recently promoted to chief product officer at McCann Worldgroup with a mission to drive product excellence, ensuring the entire organization is focused on generating, nurturing and developing its collective creative product. .
The last four years have been some of the most rewarding years of my career, and since meeting Daryl and the team, I haven’t stopped thinking about the endless possibilities of joining one of the most complete and exciting brand and talent builds in our industry. These days, we all have two roles in advertising: creating excellence for the assignments we work on; and make our industry a magnet for talent again. And McCann Worldgroup is an exciting place to make those things happen,” added Campopiano.
Recognized as one of the main creative talents in the sector, the executive has worked at Grey, Saatchi & Saatchi North America, Ogilvy Argentina and FCB. He will serve as President of the Outdoor Lions Jury at the 2023 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
