BURBANK, Calif., Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Midnight Oil has announced that it has hired former PepsiCo Vice President Glenn Weeks to become its new president, leading the Burbank-based marketing agency for future growth and driving the agency's vision across the gaming and entertainment industries.
Weeks succeeds Denise Wong, a well-regarded industry expert who has led the transformation of Midnight Oil for the last two years. Weeks will now oversee more than 250 professionals and iconic client brands in the entertainment, gaming and streaming industries. He's tasked with driving growth and profitability for the agency, which has creative capabilities and value-added services that bring immediate value to clients.

"When I first learned of Denise's desire to move on, I wanted to find a leader who could keep her vision alive and bring a strong management skillset to complement the extraordinary creative and production talent at Midnight Oil," said Craig Reese, CEO of The IMAGINE Group, parent company of Midnight Oil. "Glenn's unique set of experiences with large and small companies from PepsiCo and Novartis to E & J Gallo Winery and Dorel Sports will allow him to make an immediate impact for our clients. His passion for a client-first, market-driven approach will continue to broaden the leadership position Denise helped Midnight Oil secure across all aspects of creative, OOH, and experiential marketing for our clients."
