Aegis Media's Vizeum Announces Catherine Davis as US President
NEW YORK, June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Aegis Media today announced it has named Catherine Davis as President of Vizeum USA.
Davis has served as a thought leader in senior client roles for top brands such as Diageo, Discover Card, Morgan Stanley and Harrisdirect (prior to its acquisition by E*TRADE). Known for her creative approach to solving business issues, she began her career on the agency side at Leo Burnett.
Most recently Davis served as president of Think First Consulting, which focused on driving growth for innovative clients including Pernod Ricard and Pure Matters, a new premium vitamin brand.
"Catherine brings an exceptionally curious and creative mind to the leadership of Vizeum in the US," said Nigel Morris, CEO of Aegis Media North America. "We believe her deep experience in developing brand strategies from her time on the client side coupled with her naturally creative approach is the perfect fit for Vizeum. Vizeum is a new agency in the US but the Vizeum network has forged a highly innovative and differentiated position in other markets around the globe driven by the vision of 'start from a different place.' We were looking for someone like Catherine with a unique combination of skills who could lead that kind of innovation and take the agency where we believe a number of clients are very keen to go."
Davis replaces Mike Haggerty, who is pursuing other opportunities. "We are thankful to Mike for all the leadership he has shown in his various roles within Aegis Media over the past 6 years. We wish him the very best," said Morris.
