Wunderman Thompson Hires 2 International Advertising Experts for Its Client Services Division

A lot has happened at Wunderman Thompson in recent weeks. After winning new clients and expanding collaboration with existing clients such as Microsoft and Beiersdorf, the agency is now focusing on further strengthening its Client Services division with Myriam Bounoughaz and Massimiliano Galvagni. Both look back on international careers with renowned agency groups such as Publicis, Media.Monks, Ogilvy and Think and strengthen the client team around chief client officer, Blundstone Osterberger.

Myriam Bounoughaz started her international career in the advertising industry at Publicis in New York. This was followed by positions at the Paris-based agencies Marcel Worldwide and BETC. Most recently, she worked at Publicis Luxe as business director for L'Oréal's luxury brand Lancôme and led the recent La Vie Est Belle campaign.

Born in France, she has extensive experience developing global brand strategies for international brands in luxury and cosmetics (L'Oréal), FMCG (Evian and Kiri), and retail (Under Armour, RayBan, and Champions). In her new role, she will serve clients such as A. Lange & Soehne, Coty, KitchenAid (Whirlpool), and a variety of other B2C clients.

"In my new role at Wunderman Thompson, I am particularly looking forward to immersing myself in a new culture, learning new ways of working and bringing my international experience to the table. My goal is to help our clients increase their brand value through relevant and effective campaigns that resonate with people," said Myriam Bounoughaz about her new challenge. 

"Our industry is fast-paced and constantly evolving. Together with our clients, we can shape the world of tomorrow and strive to make a positive impact on society." she added.

Further support comes from Massimiliano Galvagni. A native of Italy, Massimiliano joined Wunderman Thompson in July and serves clients such as Bayer, CreditPlus, Mercedes Benz Mobility, and MOIA. In the early stages of his career, he worked in Milan for clients such as Nestlé, Sanpellegrino, Google, GSK (Zovirax), FCA (Alfa Romeo and Maserati), Skoda, Reckitt Benckiser (Durex), Lavazza, Enel Global, BNP Paribas, Allianz, and Danone.

Most recently, he was a business director at Media.Monk's in-house agency, serving clients such as MINI and BMW.

"In keeping with Wunderman Thompson's mission, I want to help ambitious brands grow. As Client Service Director, I do this primarily by working with our strategy team, identifying whitespaces with them to jointly find new avenues for growth through capabilities and expertise from our network." Massimiliano mentioned.

Commenting on the two new starts, Blundstone Osterberger, chief client Officer at Wunderman Thompson, adds, "With these high-profile additions, we are ideally positioned to continue to grow and build momentum internally and externally with new and existing Wunderman Thompson clients. Our "brand-to-end" realignment requires new skills, new ideas and new perspectives, but also strong knowledge and a lot of experience in strategic consulting, creation and day-to-day business. I am very happy that Myriam and Massimiliano have chosen us."
