In his new role he will oversee the communications strategy department and be responsible for developing the agency’s “systems-thinking” consumer-centric strategic approach. ” Prior to joining Droga5 in 2016, he held the role of global strategy director at MediaCom.

Stefanowicz joined Droga5 in 2015 as global head of communications.
