Team One, the Publicis Groupe’s fully integrated media, digital and communications agency for premium brands, has promoted Susanna Leighton to executive director of resource management and operations–a new position for the shop–and Amy Small to executive director of talent.
“As we head into a new year and map out our priorities for 2022, our people, and the important work they do, continue to be at the top of that list,” said Julie Michael, CEO of Team One. “In the midst of this great labor shuffle happening across the marketing industry, we are aiming to buck the trends to ensure that we have the most passionate workforce in the industry by doubling-down on recruiting the brightest talent, while challenging and unleashing our current teams. To launch remarkable ideas into the world, a commitment to talent and resources is more important than ever right now, and Susanna and Amy are the perfect people to help guide our efforts here.”
Leighton, who has been with Team One for the last 14 years, previously served as the agency’s management director of resource and talent planning. In her new role, she will amplify and allocate the talent of the agency, overseeing people analytics, leading annual client scoping processes, managing key financial measures for the agency, championing employee advancement and cross-team opportunities.
With the promotion of Small, Team One will work to create a more centralized team that will provide support, resources, direction and inspiration to its employee base in all stages of career growth. In her new position, Small’s oversight will extend from recruiting into a larger framework of both human resources and talent acquisition. Since joining Team One in 2012, Small has helped the agency’s talent recruitment process through her previous roles as associate talent director and most recently as talent director.
Leighton and Small will both report to CEO Michael.
