R/GA announced today the promotion of Richard Ting, an 11-year employee of the agency, to executive vice president and the new role of global chief design officer. The shop said in a statement it is placing all design disciplines under one hood, “fostering even greater integration.”

Ting will be responsible for the growth and evolution of the agency’s data and AI-driven design capabilities while also continuing in his previous role as a partner of R/GA Ventures, a division opened in 2014 that holds the investments the agency makes through its accelerator programs.
