IPG Mediabrands’ UM has promoted Deidre Smalls-Landau to U.S. chief marketing officer, effective immediately. She will retain her current position as global head of culture while adding oversight of UM’s strategic branding, platforms and initiatives to her remit. Since joining IPG Mediabrands in 2011 as managing director of multicultural agency Identity, Smalls-Landau says she’s been focused on “connecting the dots” of the organization. (Smalls-Landau, who spent time in group management at Publicis and WPP’s Grey Group as well, was named global chief cross-cultural officer of UM Worldwide in 2017.) “It’s not a departure from that,” she explains. “It’s an amplification of building [cultural] expertise into the many other facets of the agency. ... 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'
