“For over 15 years, Katy’s infectious energy, deep commitment to her clients and incredible sense of humour have helped shape FCB Inferno into the agency it is today,” FCB Global CEO Tyler Turnbull said.

The agency won its first-ever ‘Titanium’ award at Cannes Lions earlier this year for its ‘Dyslexic Thinking’ campaign with Virgin Group.

“These qualities make her a champion and a leader of world class creativity. She shares the FCB belief that creativity is a beautiful economic multiplier. I cannot wait to watch her continue to positively contribute to our industry as CEO of FCB Inferno.”
