NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2015
/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today Ogilvy Public Relations
promoted Michael Frohlich to Chief
Executive Officer for the Europe, Africa, Middle
East (EAME) region. This follows his promotion in
February to Chief Operation Officer EAME. Michael will retain his
role as UK CEO for Ogilvy PR.
"Michael is simply one of the best PR people I have
had the pleasure to hire and work with. Through his energy and
passion, he has tirelessly built Ogilvy PR UK into the
successful, award-winning agency we now are," said
Stuart Smith, Global CEO
Ogilvy PR. "Under his leadership we
have transformed into a modern, earned media
operation that is a highly creative, social-by-design
with content totally at the center of our offer. He and
his team thoroughly deserved the recognition given by the
UK Public Relations Consultancy Association (PRCA), especially
as Agency Head of the Year in 2014."
Michael succeeds Stuart Smith who
was promoted to Global CEO last year but retained the title of CEO
EAME until today's announcement. Stuart joined Ogilvy &
Mather in 2010 to run Ogilvy PR EAME. In that time Ogilvy PR
EAME experienced extremely strong organic growth,
completed several acquisitions, topped the creativity league tables
and was ultimately named The Holmes Report pan-EAME
agency of the year in 2014.
"I thank Stuart for the successful partnership we enjoy and am
excited to embrace the opportunity to continue growing our people,
brand and business in the EAME region at the service of our
clients," said Michael Frohlich.
"We have great potential to continue an aggressive growth
strategy in the EAME region. This announcement is one in a
series made recently to show how we will structure

year strategy for Ogilvy PR in EAME," continued Smith.
