DDB Worldwide appoints Alex Lubar as their new president and chief operating officer.
Alex Lubar, a ten-year veteran at McCann, has shaken things up with his move to DDB Worldwide. From being the CMO for North America, then climbing the global ladder to head the London and Asia Pacific offices, he's now stepped into the hot seat as President and COO at DDB Worldwide - a fresh challenge at the Omnicom agency.
This strategic move bolsters DDB's global leadership team under CEO Marty O'Halloran, who ascended to his role in 2020.
Lubar shared his excitement about the opportunity to work for DDB, saying, "DDB has one of the best creative histories of any of the big agencies...I started out at Rapp Collins 20-plus years ago, and we were on the floor below DDB."
Despite the limited data available on Lubar's background before joining DDB, his appointment signals a significant shift in DDB's leadership, following in the footsteps of previous leaders like Andrew Little. Lubar is poised to lead DDB Worldwide in its future ventures and innovative projects.
