Campaign Promotes Amy Armstrong to Lead Role as Global CEO

In a significant move for IPG Mediabrands agency Initiative, Amy Armstrong has been appointed as the new global chief executive. Armstrong, who has been serving as the U.S. CEO since 2016, will succeed Mat Baxter, who is moving into a global chairman role through the end of 2021.

Armstrong and Baxter have been instrumental in transforming Initiative into a formidable industry leader. Their collaboration has been key to the agency's impressive comeback, as it was once described as a "basket case".

Baxter's new role will not mark the end of his contributions to IPG. The details of his additional senior role for the company will be announced in the months ahead.

Peter Breese will take over as the chairman of the Initiative Agency in the United States, succeeding Baxter in the global CEO role.

The change in leadership comes as IPG Mediabrands agency Initiative has recently won a major account, further cementing its position as a leading player in the industry. The specifics of this major account win were not mentioned.

Armstrong joined Initiative as U.S. CEO in 2016, having held leadership roles at various IPG agencies over the past two decades. Under her guidance, the U.S. branch of the agency has undoubtedly thrived, setting the stage for her successful global tenure.

As Initiative continues to grow and evolve, it is clear that Armstrong's leadership will be crucial in navigating the company's future. With her proven track record and commitment to the agency, she is well-positioned to continue driving Initiative's success on a global scale.
