Ogilvy Group UK has appointed former Adam&EveDDB chief executive Tammy Einav (centre) as its new chief client officer. She takes up the role immediately.

The move will see Einav reuniting with Adam&EveDDB’s original founders James Murphy, Ogilvy Group UK chief executive (left), and David Golding, Ogilvy Group UK executive planning partner (right), almost six years after they exited the agency.

In her new role, Einav will be tasked with overseeing client relationships and the team of managing partners across all five areas of the group’s UK business – Advertising Brand and Content, PR Social and Influence, Consulting, Health and Ogilvy One.

“To be reuniting with James and David with whom I have worked for over a decade, is joyous,” she said.

“To be doing so at the global icon that is Ogilvy and at a moment in time when there is so much that we can offer clients, is a true privilege. I cannot wait to get started.”

Murphy said: “The huge success of our original partnership and Tammy’s dedication and devotion to clients will be crucial to our growth, progress and impact. Ogilvy UK is on an exciting trajectory and Tammy reuniting with us sends a powerful message. I could not be more thrilled.”

Einav leaves Adam&EveDDB after an almost 17-year spell at the agency, which she initially joined as managing director in 2008 before being elevated to CEO in 2017.
