Canadian search management agency Listenmore Inc. announced today that Arthur Fleischmann will be serving as an executive adviser to the Listenmore team and its clients.

Fleischmann brings more than 30 years of experience with some of Canada’s most successful blue-chip clients in retail, packaged goods and financial services, Listenmore said in a news release.

Fleischmann is the co-founder and former CEO of John St., which is now part of the WPP network. In 2019, he was promoted to Group CEO, overseeing the operations of John St., Ogilvy and Ogilvy Health Canada. He later assumed the additional role of country lead for WPP Canada, driving the delivery of integrated solutions across the company’s diverse portfolio of technology, commerce and communications offerings to Canadian clients.

“My priority is always about helping clients succeed,” Fleischmann said in the release. “Listenmore is uniquely positioned for me to add value and advisory counsel to clients, helping them make informed decisions in an increasingly complex marketing landscape.”

In November, Fleischmann announced he was stepping aside from his role as CEO of Ogilvy Canada.
