Ogilvy PR Continues Restructuring and Promotes Michael Frohlich to CEO EAME

NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today Ogilvy Public Relations promoted Michael Frohlich to Chief Executive Officer for the Europe, Africa, Middle East (EAME) region. This follows his promotion in February to Chief Operation Officer EAME. Michael will retain his role as UK CEO for Ogilvy PR.

"Michael is simply one of the best PR people I have had the pleasure to hire and work with. Through his energy and passion, he has tirelessly built Ogilvy PR UK into the successful, award-winning agency we now are," said Stuart Smith, Global CEO Ogilvy PR. "Under his leadership we have transformed into a modern, earned media operation that is a highly creative, social-by-design with content totally at the center of our offer. He and his team thoroughly deserved the recognition given by the UK Public Relations Consultancy Association (PRCA), especially as Agency Head of the Year in 2014."

Michael succeeds Stuart Smith who was promoted to Global CEO last year but retained the title of CEO EAME until today's announcement. Stuart joined Ogilvy & Mather in 2010 to run Ogilvy PR EAME. In that time Ogilvy PR EAME experienced extremely strong organic growth, completed several acquisitions, topped the creativity league tables and was ultimately named The Holmes Report pan-EAME agency of the year in 2014.

"I thank Stuart for the successful partnership we enjoy and am excited to embrace the opportunity to continue growing our people, brand and business in the EAME region at the service of our clients," said Michael Frohlich.

"We have great potential to continue an aggressive growth strategy in the EAME region. This announcement is one in a series made recently to show how we will structure Ogilvy PR for the future. Michael's first job is to create a new 5 year strategy for Ogilvy PR in EAME," continued Smith.
