Andrew Robertson has been upped to chairman BBDO Worldwide. He has served as President-CEO since May 2004. Nancy Reyes succeeds him.

“We have been extremely lucky to have an industry titan at the helm of BBDO for over two decades,” said John Wren, Chairman-CEO of Omnicom. “Andrew’s passion for the business was felt by his people and clients alike, always hands on to ensure the network maintained its industry leading standards of creativity.” 

Wren added he was “excited for Nancy to take the reins as CEO as she propels BBDO into the future.”

Reyes joined BBDO in October 2023. She calls BBDO “a fantastic agency with a very long runway ahead.”

Robertson was inducted into the AAF Hall of Fame in 2022 and has been named one of The 100 Most Influential Leaders in marketing, media and tech, alongside Mark Zuckerburg, Tim Cook and Jeff Bezos. He was been instrumental in key new business wins in recent years, such as The Home Depot, Enterprise Holdings and Heineken.

BBDO was named Network of the Year at Cannes Lions a record-setting seven times and, in 2020, the first Network of the Decade.
