FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Eric Zuncic to Join DDB North America as Chief Strategy Officer


Final Hire Completes North American Leadership Team

September 7, 2017 | New York

DDB North America announced today that Eric Zuncic will join the North American
Leadership Team as Chief Strategy Officer effective October 2, 2017. Zuncic, a
Harvard Business School graduate, joins DDB from Crispin Porter + Bogusky where he
spent almost two and half years as Chief Strategy Officer for all of its North American
offices.

This final hire of Eric as Chief Strategy Officer puts the last puzzle piece in place, said
Wendy Clark, Chief Executive Officer of DDB North America. "Our North American
leadership team is complete and encompasses some of the most impressive talent
working in our industry. We are incredibly excited for Eric to join us and hit the ground
running.

Reporting to Clark, Zuncic will oversee strategy for all DDB North America offices as
well as We Are Unlimited, the bespoke agency launched for McDonalds U.S. business
earlier this year.

Ask the best creatives in the world and they will tell you their dirty little secret is to find
the best strategists in the world and to hold on for dear life. Eric is one of those
strategists, and lucky for me there's lots to hold onto, commented Ari Weiss, Chief
Creative Officer of DDB North America.

Prior to joining CP + B, Zuncic spent over three years at Mekanism, where he oversaw
strategy on accounts including Method, Pepsi, and Ben & Jerrys. Earlier, he was
Director of Strategy and Innovation at the Brand Union. Before going agency side, he
worked for Unilever and Geico.

"I've always admired the creative legacy of DDB and am thrilled to partner with Wendy,
Ari and the extended North America Leadership Team to continue the resurgence of
this iconic agency, said Zuncic.
The hire of Zuncic completes DDB North America's leadership team with Clark, Weiss
and Chief People Officer Britt Hayes at the helm of the agency.
