Matt Eastwood (below), the global CCO that JWT dispensed with in its last nightmare year of independent existence, has surfaced as global CCO of McCann Health, a growing part of the Interpublic empire.
McCann Worldgroup global creative chairman Rob Reilly says: “Matt is an immense talent, but an even better human. He is exactly the kind of global creative leader we need at this moment to continue McCann Health’s growth and commitment to do meaningful work for our brand partners.”
Eastwood says: “I’ve been impressed for some time with the creative renaissance that Rob Reilly and his teams have brought to all of McCann Worldgroup. And like many in the business, I’ve been especially aware of some of the outstanding and meaningful creative work that McCann Health in particular has been doing around the world befitting their reputation as one of the world’s most awarded global healthcare communications companies. I am so pleased to be joining this winning team.”
