Restructuring of the U.S. Leadership Team within Publicis Groupe's Media Division

In a significant shake-up, Michael Epstein has taken on the role of CEO at Starcom in the USA, marking a new chapter for the advertising company. This transition is part of Publicis Groupe's rejiggering of its U.S. Publicis Media leadership team.

Epstein's departure from the Dentsu network paved the way for his move to Starcom. Prior to joining Starcom, he served as the CEO of Carat Global. Known for his digital transformation achievements at the Dentsu Aegis Network, Epstein is bringing his visionary prowess to Starcom, with the aim of shaping the Starcom shop.

The departure of Kathy Ring, who left Starcom in March after a 20-year career with the organization, was also part of this restructuring. Chris Boothe stepped in as interim CEO at the time of Ring's departure, and is now serving as the interim CEO of both Starcom and Spark Foundry.

Boothe's role is temporary until a permanent CEO for Starcom is appointed. The company has not yet announced a permanent replacement for Ring. The rejiggering of the U.S. Publicis Media leadership team includes new titles to round out its C-suite, with Epstein's move to Starcom being a key part of this reorganisation.

The transition at Starcom is ongoing, with Epstein's innovative approach expected to bring about exciting changes. The rejiggering of the U.S. Publicis Media leadership team also involves new titles to round out its C-suite, as Publicis Groupe seeks to streamline its operations and drive growth in the competitive advertising industry.

As the dust settles on these changes, the advertising world eagerly awaits to see how Epstein's leadership will shape Starcom and the wider Publicis Groupe.
