UM, the Interpublic Group media agency, has appointed Jon Stimmel executive vice president, managing partner of the shop’s integrated investment team. Stimmel joins UM from Publicis Groupe’s Starcom MediaVest Group, where he was EVP director of investment and activation for the General Motors business, which shifted to Carat earlier this year.

Prior to that, Stimmel was senior vice president and group client director, Cross Channel Activation on the Kraft One account at MediaVest. Stimmel reports to David Cohen, Global Chief Media Officer for UM, and is based in New York. He will work closely with colleague Dani Benowitz, who holds the same title, to jointly lead UM’s U.S. integrated investment team across all channels, including TV, print, and digital.
