MING Utility and Entertainment Group tapped Jeff Geisler as president. He most recently served as global chief marketing officer for Saatchi & Saatchi. Before that, he worked as chief marketing officer for Jay-Z's Roc Nation, handling both music and sports properties.

Prior to that, Geisler spent seven years as head of business leadership at McCann New York, where he ran client service for clients such as Verizon, Mastercard, General Mills and Unilever.

Geisler and Linus Karlsson, chairman and chief creative officer of Ming, worked at McCann for nearly three years when Karlsson served as chairman and chief creative officer of McCann New York and McCann London.

"As we're steering even more deliberately towards design, music and film experiences by brands and less ad-making stuff, Jeff, with his unique experience, is great fit to run the company," said Karlsson. "Jeff understands creative, strategy, media, technology, design and how to operate, innovate and be successful in this space."
