IPG Mediabrands’ UM has promoted Deidre Smalls-Landau to U.S. chief marketing officer, effective immediately.

I will really be focusing on the intersection of advertising, media, technology and culture." Smalls-Landau will continue to be based out of New York and report to UM U.S. CEO Lynn Lewis. “In her expanded role as CMO, she will continue to champion under-represented segments, ensuring cultural data and insights are at the core of our business and branding,” Lewis said in a statement. Under Smalls-Landau’s leadership, UM began publishing Remix Culture, the first culturally focused iteration of its annual Wave X study for tracking global social and digital media usage and motivations. Smalls-Landau says navigating the trends Remix Culture has uncovered will be key to her responsibilities as chief marketing officer. She... Continue reading at 'Advertising Age'
