The appointment underscores the agency's commitment to embedding data-driven insights and advanced analytics into every aspect of its business, guiding smarter decisions and more meaningful outcomes for clients.

EJ Kim brings extensive experience in building, scaling, and transforming insights and analytics functions into strategic solutions-focused consulting capabilities. Prior to joining FleishmanHillard, she served as executive vice president and head of Nexus, Weber Shandwick's global center of excellence for analytics and innovation. Kim's appointment follows a series of strategic leadership announcements across FleishmanHillard's global network, highlighting the agency's dedication to data-driven insight, innovation, and measurable client impact.

TRUE Global Intelligence connects Omnicom's industry-leading data stack with proprietary measurement frameworks, data, and AI-powered audience insight tools, and consulting-grade analysis. This award-winning approach sets a new standard for data-driven intelligence, blending smart data and methodological rigor with bold creative experimentation.

"I am truly excited for the opportunity to bring substance to innovation, ensuring that the intelligence we deliver is not just fast but thoughtful, rigorous, and built to last," said Kim. "This is a pivotal moment for intelligence to lead not follow, and what sets us apart is not just the data at our fingertips but how we apply critical thinking and creative rigor to turn that data into insight and action. As AI transforms how we work, the real power lies in how we think — through critical reasoning, methodological discipline, and the ability to make these tools work harder for real outcomes. I'm proud to help shape what's next alongside a team that believes how we get there matters just as much as where we're headed."
