Fallon Bolsters Executive Team With New Chief Strategy Officer

Fallon is on a roll! Fallon has announced an addition to its executive management team. Anette Lillegard, formerly with IMF Health, has joined the agency as Chief Strategy Officer. The news follows several recent account wins for Fallon, a Super Bowl ad, a public thank you from client Arby’s for its “Arby’s: We Have the Meats” campaign and getting named Comeback Agency of the Year by Advertising Age.

Of the hire, Fallon CEO Mike Buchner said, “We made the conscious decision to look at nontraditional candidates for our Chief Strategy Officer hire. With a desire to expand our current strategic offering into areas such as analytics and consulting, I’m very pleased that we have found someone with a wealth of business strategy experience and an impressive track record of success like Anette."

As Chief Strategy Officer, Lillegard will be charged with leading strategy within the organization including oversight of Account Planning, Connection Planning, Research, Analytics and Consulting. I'm told she will also have a hand in shaping the future of the company as a member of the Fallon executive management team. 

Of joining Fallon, Lillegard said, “I am honored to join Fallon and be a catalyst for diversifying our thinking and elevating our discipline to create on–point, bespoken strategy for the brands we all care about.”

Remember when "bespoke" was just a fashion term used to describe a specialty clothing maker in England
