Weber Shandwick has appointed TVC’s Adam Clyne as head of digital in EMEA.

Chris Perry, global president of digital at Weber Shandwick, said: “The more companies build content-driven PR and marketing programs, the greater the need to deliver with exponential inventiveness, flair and impact. Adam’s track record for breaking new creative ground to drive business results speaks for itself. He will be an invaluable partner for our clients and colleagues in Europe, and an integral part of our global leadership team.”
Adam said: “I’m incredibly excited to be joining this renowned and award-winning agency, known not only for its leadership in public relations but for constantly pushing boundaries in digital and social media. The digital campaigns they deliver are ground-breaking, the team is really smart, and I’m looking forward to working with some of the greatest brands in the world to continue reimagining what it means to engage in today’s digital world.”
