Simona Suman joins Wunderman Thompson Germany as Chief Creative Officer. She comes from MRM/McCann Romania, where she was executive creative director.

Prior to the appointment, Suman was ECD at MRM Romania for the past three years, leading creative work for global brands such as Coca-Cola, KFC, Lidl, Mastercard and Sanofi.

Suman won a Gold Lion at Cannes for Mastercard’s "Roadside Market" campaign in 2021 and the Grand Global Effie for KFC’s "Killer Discounts" in 2022.

Before MRM, she held creative positions at McCann Erickson Romania and Young & Rubicam in the Czech Republic.

Vanessa Kerkhoff said: “Simona combines creative excellence in ideation with a deep, digital understanding of how to implement forward-thinking communication. We’re proud to have attracted a woman of Simona's talent in a still male-dominated creative industry. Even more so from a region that is discussed in creative circles as the absolute hidden champion.”
