Publicis Groupe digital agency Razorfish confirmed today that agency veteran Dani Mariano has been promoted to US CEO, succeeding Josh Campo.
Campo had led the agency for five years, originally joining Publicis when the holding company acquired Sapient in 2015.
No official word on Campo’s next move but sources indicated that he is rumored to be headed to Huge as CEO. Late last year Huge was sold by Interpublic Group to AEA Investors, which merged the agency with Hero Digital. Huge was the surviving brand and Huge CEO Lisa De Bonis continued to lead the combined agency.
