Publicis Connected Media has appointed Suzy Deering CEO Publicis Sports, a new role at the company. 

Deering is a former CMO at Ford—a role she served in for two years before departing in late 2022. 

Since then she has taken on a number of senior level advisory roles including a two-year consultancy position with Publicis Sports. 

During that time she played a role in shaping its capabilities and orchestrating M&A deals, including two sports marketing firms, Adopt and Bespoke. She was also instrumental in the creation of Women’s Sports Connect, designed to help clients get involved with women’s sports media opportunities. 

Prior to Ford, she was global CMO at eBay and earlier led Publicis Media digital agency Moxie as CEO. 

In her new role, Deering will work closely with Publicis Sports president Jon Tuck to further expand the unit’s capabilities.
