Agency adam&eveDDB has made three key promotions, upping Sam Lecoeur from growth director to chief client officer, Annabel Barry from new business director to head of new business, and Sarah Todd from client strategy and integration lead to chief growth and integration officer.
Lecoeur joined the agency as a business director in 2016 from AMV, where he led some of the agency’s most creatively awarded accounts such as Guinness Global, Mercedes and Heinz. Following a successful year running the new business team in 2017, he was promoted to managing partner. After leading converted pitches such as Virgin Media and The National Lottery, Lecoeur stepped into the role of growth director in 2022, with a focus on harnessing further growth from existing clients.
As chief client officer, Lecoeur will focus on pursuing innovative, enduring client partnerships with new and existing clients; he will also continue to lead key accounts such as Volkswagen, Mars and Eurostar.
Barry joined adam&eveDDB in 2021 as new business manager. She was promoted to new business director in January 2023 and helped to win a host of new business last year including BT Business, Eurostar, Savills and a coveted spot on Amazon’s roster in September, Barry previously worked at UNIT9 and The Brooklyn Brothers.
Todd’s job title change reflects how her role delivers growth through integration with new and existing clients–realizing adam&eveDDB’s future growth ambition, in tandem with a deep productive partnership with the wider Omnicom group.
Todd joined adam&eveDDB a year ago, having been recruited for her broader business and integrated marketing perspective. She was previously growth and integration Lead on WPP’s Unilever team, and before that was U.K. chief executive of Geometry Global. During her career, Todd has worked extensively leading integrated communications, marketing capability and model transformation for global clients including Unilever, GSK, Heineken, Bacardi, and P&G.
“Overnight Success” Has Been More Than A Decade In The Making For Meghann Fahy and Eve Hewson
Meghann Fahy and Eve Hewson, two of the stars of Netflix's whodunit "The Perfect Couple," have news for you if you want to call them breakouts: They've been working in this business for more than a decade.
Fahy made her TV debut in 2009 in an episode of "Gossip Girl." Hewson's first big film role was in 2011's "This Must Be the Place." They do concede, however, that it's recent TV roles — "The White Lotus" for Fahy and "Bad Sisters" for Hewson — that have led to new frontiers of opportunity.
Susanne Bier, who directed "The Perfect Couple," says both Fahy and Hewson are "going to be big stars."
"They certainly have proper, profound star quality, Both of them in very different ways," Bier says.

She's in Noah Baumbach's next film, alongside Adam Sandler, George Clooney and Riley Keough. She's also been cast in Steven Spielberg's next production and is set to star opposite Murray Bartlett in a racing series for Hulu.
Fahy, 34, is in production on a limited series with Julianne Moore and Milly Alcock called "Sirens," written by Molly Smith Metzler ("Maid") for Netflix. She also has two films in the can with Josh O'Connor ("The Crown," "Challengers") and Brandon Sklenar ("It Ends With Us").
