INNOCEAN Worldwide Americas

In 2009, as World Marketing Group became INNOCEAN Worldwide Americas, I was employee # 2 for the advertising practice. In less than six weeks, we put together a team of about 20 people and took the hand-off of the Hyundai account from Goodby Silverstein and Partners. Since then the advertising portion of IWA has grown to over 200 employees.
