Appointment Builds on the Agency’s New Global Leadership Team, Leans into Brand Consulting as an Accelerant to Client Business Outcomes and Sales Growth
ST. LOUIS
, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — FleishmanHillard today announced the hire of Jim Joseph as global head of Brand Impact. In this role, Joseph will be responsible for leading FleishmanHillard’s global Brand business across B2B, B2C and B2G audiences, leveraging communications to enable commerce and business outcomes for the agency’s clients.
“Everything we do is designed to drive action and impact for our clients, and we have the power and ability to drive commercial outcomes through our work,” said J.J. Carter, FleishmanHillard president and chief executive officer. “Jim’s expertise in client-side brand management, as well as his roles across multiple agency disciplines and industry sectors throughout his career, perfectly position him to make FleishmanHillard the undisputed global destination for brand work and for clients who need a partner that will deliver true business impact.”
FleishmanHillard has long emphasized its Corporate Affairs consulting strength and now brings similar discipline to an elevated Brand Impact offering under Joseph’s leadership. Through this effort FleishmanHillard will focus on driving commercial outcomes rather than communications output and will pull from the firm’s strengths in data and intelligence, strategic integration and its spectrum of industry expertise.
“I feel like joining FleishmanHillard at this moment, in this role is the culmination of my career journey,” said Joseph. “We’re working to be a first mover in the industry reinvention of what brand marketing and communications mean in today’s world and how we can drive business impacts and commerce for our clients.”
Before joining FleishmanHillard, Joseph was at Ketchum where he held various roles including U.S. CEO and global chief marketing officer. Before that he was the chief customer solutions officer at IPG Health and previously served as global president at BCW. Joseph also held roles at Lippe Taylor, Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness and GW Hoffman! Marketing. He began his career with positions at Johnson & Johnson and Church & Dwight Co., Inc. Joseph is an adjunct instructor at New York University’s School of Professional Studies and authored four books about marketing, in addition to one about parenting.
Joseph is the latest appointee to Carter’s new global leadership team on the heels of last year’s announcement of Della Sweetman as president, Americas and chief strategy officer, and six new global leadership appointments. The agency has also appointed new market leadership in India, Texas, Thailand andSingapore, and additional leadership expertise roles including Health and Life Sciences, TRUE Global Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Responsible Business and Impact.
