Former Leo Burnett chief strategy officer, Emily Taylor, joins M&C Saatchi

Emily Taylor, the former chief strategy officer at Leo Burnett, has joined M&C Saatchi as CSO.

Taylor left Leo Burnett in April to join Colenso BBDO, however her time with the Auckland-based agency was cut short by her inability to enter New Zealand due to COVID-19 shutdowns.

Taylor’s appointment at M&C Saatchi follows its former CSO Justin Graham stepping up as CEO after the departure of Jaimes Leggett.
