WPP Media has appointed industry veteran Angela Steele to the new role of US Chief Client Officer, effective later this month. 

She joins from Publicis where she was CEO of Publicis Collective, a unit within Publicis Media that designs custom teams comprising media strategy, planning, buying, data, technology, commerce, and performance to serve larger clients.  

Earlier Steele was CEO at Dentsu’s Carat USA and before that led IPG digital unit Ansible. 

As her title suggests, WPP has hired Steele to strengthen U.S. client relationships.  

“As I step into this role, my focus is simple: build enduring client partnerships, champion our people, and help brands navigate the next era of media with clarity, empathy, and ambition,” Steele wrote on LinkedIn.
