The announcement follows MercerBell’s recent hire of executive strategy director Brad Bennett and the promotion of Julie Dormand to CEO at the start of this year. All leadership roles will report to Dormand.
“Following three successful years of growth within the Publicis Groupe, we have evolved the leadership structure so that we will continue to see MercerBell thrive as a sought-after CX agency,” Dormand said.
“With these promotions, we’re in a fantastic position to continue independently servicing our clients in the customer experience space.”
