Le Truc, Publicis Groupe’s next-generation creative collective, selected Julia Neumann as partner, chief creative officer, reporting to Carla Serrano, global chief strategy officer of Publicis Groupe and President of Le Truc.

She is based in New York.

Previously, Neumann served as a chief creative officer at Johannes Leonardo, working with clients such as Kraft Heinz, Instagram, Uber and Volkswagen.

Before that, she was executive creative director at TBWA/Chiat Day. Newmann has also done stints at Wieden + Kennedy, BBH and Mullen.

"Julia's track record of creative brilliance and commitment to pushing boundaries perfectly complements our leadership collective,” said Serrano.

In the past year, Le Truc has collaborated with the Groupe’s agencies on key accounts: Four Seasons, LVMH, Samsung, Visa, Pfizer and Campbell’s.

Neumann called the Le Truc model one that "champions creativity, collaboration and experimentation...  and exactly what the industry needs to help brands navigate ongoing disruption."
