Kari O’Neill, vice president, strategy, at Young & Laramore has also been appointed an agency principal.

O'Neill joined the Indianapolis-based agency in 2016 and has led the agency’s brand strategy and analytics practices for companies such as DEWALT, Rust-Oleum, Trane, Gainbridge and American Standard.

Before joining Young & Laramore, Kari worked at the NCAA and Landor, with global brands Crest and Oral-B.

Y&L’s President-CEO Tom Denari said: “While Kari is usually the smartest person in the room, she never acts like it. Her humility builds trust with clients and team members alike, as she provides feedback and counsel in a way that makes people want to know what she thinks.”
