USA – Omnicom Public Relations has unveiled a new international leadership structure, appointing Joanne Wong as CEO of OPR APAC, Hugh Taggart as CEO of OPR EMEA, and Greg Power as CEO of OPR Canada.
The new regional leadership structure is aimed at providing more integrated support to clients across markets and disciplines. It follows OPR’s recent realignment of its global agency brands under a simplified portfolio approach.
The model introduces regional and country leadership across selected markets outside the US and UK, with the goal of establishing a clearer governance framework and enabling more coordinated client delivery across its agency portfolio, which includes Golin, Ketchum, Weber Shandwick, and FleishmanHillard.
Effective July 1, Wong, Taggart, and Power will report to OPR CEO Chris Foster. They will oversee all OPR agency brands within their respective regions, working with local leadership and supported by global agency heads.
OPR said the US and UK will continue to operate under their existing agency models.
“OPR is strengthening our market presence by bringing the OPR network together in a more coordinated and effective way,” said Foster. “Our agency brands each bring a unique value proposition and a commitment to client service excellence. By showing up as a cohesive, integrated partner, we preserve those distinctive capabilities while ensuring we deliver the seamless experience our clients expect.”
The new structure will be rolled out in phases, with further country-level appointments expected in the coming months.
