DDB names new strategy lead in its Edmonton office
Nadine Morris has been promoted to VP of strategy at DDB, leading the offering in the agency’s Edmonton office.
In her new role, Morris will continue to work on strategic planning initiatives with clients, while also bringing more of a strategic lens to the office’s work more broadly.
Morris was hired last year as group account director, having previously been partner at consultancy Powerhouse Marketing. Prior to that, she spent 15 years client-side in a variety of marketing, sales, business development and strategy roles at Johnson & Johnson. Martha Jamieson, DDB’s SVP of strategic services, adds that Morris’ background in client-side marketing, sales and CRM brings a “unique and deep” level of strategic expertise.
Since joining DDB, she has worked with clients including EPCOR, Encor, STARS Lottery and the Edmonton Elks, helping the team navigate the CFL team’s rebranding from its previous moniker, which was deemed offensive.
