Global digital marketing agency Digitas (www.digitas.com) has hired Anne Davis as a Senior VP relationship lead working out of Digitas London. She joins from OgilvyOne Singapore where she was regional Digital Director for Asia Pacific and responsible for running the Unilever, Cisco, and Diageo businesses. As an experienced global client leader, she will play a critical role in growing multi-national client relationships across EMEA and APAC.

Commenting on the hire, Executive Creative Director Sav Evangelou, who joined Digitas London earlier this year from Wunderman, said “This is a fantastic hire for Digitas. Anne is widely respected for her conceptual creative thinking as well as being a strong manager of global businesses.”

Anne started her career in 1993 as PR Director of a large Australian retail group and then moved to Y&R Mattingly (Melbourne) as a Director on Youth Brands. In 1997, she joined George Patterson Bates AdTown as Account Director. Between 1997 and 1999, she worked in London at FCB (later Banks Hoggins O’Shea FCB) and Euro RSCG.

In 2000 Anne joined the Euro RSCG UK CEOs board, and in 2005 she successful managed the merger of Euro RSCG Interaction with EHS Brann, later becoming Managing Director of the newly formed Euro RSCG 4D. She spent two years as Deputy Managing Director of EHS Brann Group before moving to OgilvyOne Singapore.

Laura Lang, CEO of Digitas, announced last week the hire of Stephan Beringer as president, international of Digitas, a move that signals the agency’s continued focus in strengthening its global leadership roster with top talent based in Digitas London.
