Omnicom Public Relations (OPR) has revealed a new regional leadership structure designed to offer integrated support to clients across markets and disciplines.

Joanne Wong will become CEO, OPR APAC, Hugh Taggart will become CEO, OPR EMEA, and Greg Power will become CEO, OPR Canada, effective 1st July. Reporting into Chris Foster, CEO of OPR, they will oversee all OPR agency brands within their respective regions, working closely with local leadership and drawing support from the team's global agency leaders.

The new model introduces OPR regional and country leadership across select markets outside the U.S. and the UK, with the aim of creating a clearer governance structure and enabling more coordinated, client-centric delivery across its agency portfolio, including Golin, Ketchum, Weber Shandwick and FleishmanHillard.

"OPR is strengthening our market presence by bringing the OPR network together in a more coordinated and effective way," said Chris. “Our agency brands each bring a unique value proposition and a commitment to client service excellence. By showing up as a cohesive, integrated partner, we preserve those distinctive capabilities while ensuring we deliver the seamless experience our clients expect.”
