Interpublic this morning announced that UM
global CEO Eileen Kiernan has been named global CEO of its IPG Mediabrands division, succeeding Daryl Lee, who moves to global CEO of its McCann Worldgroup unit.
Kiernan, who joined UM in 2012
as Chief Marketing Officer after a long stint at Publicis' MediaVest unit, as well as marketing roles at a variety of consumer media companies, now oversees all of Interpublic's major media
operations.
