The global CEO of the most talked about new agency network to launch in recent times, Hearts & Science’s Scott Hagedorn, is the first international keynote speaker to be announced for June’s Mumbrella360 conference.

Hagedorn: Founder of the fastest growing media agency network of all time

Named by The Wall Street Journal as one to watch in adland, Omnicom’s newest media agency network Hearts & Science launched in the US in April last year. It took the market by surprise when it snatched the two biggest media accounts in North America with Procter & Gamble and AT&T worth an estimated US$5bn.

Since then, Hearts & Science offices have already sprouted up in Canada, the UK, Puerto Rico, India and Dubai to service the MENA region.

Professional envy I guess…but how difficult must it be to grow a new agency brand with the help of an Omnicom? Hardly a blazing success story when underwritten by friendly money?

Hi Multinational,

When you’re going up against WPP, IPG et al to try to win those big accounts? Quite difficult…
