The Advisory Board will meet regularly with Adweek's senior editorial team at gatherings across the country to discuss the pressing issues of the day. Members will also be on hand to publish thought leadership columns, speak at Adweek events and provide Adweek with insight and analysis on an as-needed basis across all platforms.

"The times we operate in aren't easy. The pressure to deliver is daunting for even the most experienced here," said board member Colleen DeCourcy, chief creative officer for agency network Wieden + Kennedy.
