New strategic leadership role will strengthen NRG’s position as a go-to partner for brands, platforms, and entertainment companies navigating brand challenges and shifting consumer dynamics
LOS ANGELES
, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NRG (National Research Group), a leading global insights and strategy firm at the intersection of entertainment, media, and technology, has appointed Fotoulla Damaskos to a first-of-its-kind Chief Client Strategist role, focused on accelerating the creativity, consultation, and strategic thinking NRG provides its clients.
“As the media and advertising landscape grows more fragmented, brands need more than just data—they need a true strategic partner to help them connect with audiences in meaningful ways,” said Fotoulla Damaskos, Chief Client Strategist at NRG. “This role is designed to make NRG an even more powerful force for clients, ensuring our insights don’t just inform, but actively drive business decisions, shape go-to-market strategies, and unlock new opportunities for growth.”
Damaskos’ appointment follows a strong track record helping NRG-clients Snapchat, Expedia, Amazon Prime Video, and many others unlock new opportunities through strategic insights. Most recently, she was part of an inter-agency team that helped Stagwell secure the global lead for creative campaigns and social content at Adobe. In this new role, Damaskos will be working across the firm to win and consult on high-value assignments by translating thought leadership, proprietary products, and unique methodologies into actionable strategies.
As Chief Client Strategist, Damaskos will work directly with brands, platforms, and media companies to convert consumer insights into competitive advantage. Whether by shaping brand positioning, mapping the impact of the creator economy to brand growth, or bringing proprietary tools like fan-centric brand measurement and creator insights into the hands of marketers, this role will serve as the bridge that connects data and insights to meaningful action and change.
“At NRG, we don’t just tell our clients what’s coming next; we help them define it,” said Grady Miller, CMO and Head of Trends & Futures at NRG. “This role strengthens our ability to turn insights into action, ensuring clients stay ahead of industry shifts. This appointment marks NRG’s evolution as a strategic growth partner—one that doesn’t simply measure success but helps create it.”
