Fenton (pictured) has been chief executive at media communications company and fellow Omnicom Group business OMD UK since 2020 and succeeds Dan Clays, who was recently named chief executive at OMG Europe, Middle East and Africa.

In her new role, Fenton will oversee strategy, operations and the development and adoption of capabilities to support OMG UK agencies including OMD, PHD, Hearts & Science and the Annalect data and analytics division in the UK.

Fenton will begin her new role later next month, reporting to Clays, and her successor as chief executive at OMD UK is expected to be named in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Clays said: “As the chief executive officer of OMD UK, Laura has driven growth across all key metrics, delivering close to $300m in net new billings, expanding the agency’s business transformation offer and building a collaborative culture of opportunity.

“Bringing the expertise and commitment that fuelled these achievements to her new role, she will ensure that all OMG UK agencies can access and activate the industry’s most future-forward capabilities to deliver accelerated growth for their clients and increased opportunities for their talent.”
