Alex Lubar has been a fixture at McCann for a decade, rising from CMO for North America, then global CMO, to CEO of the London office and president of the Asia Pacific Region and president of North America. Now, DDB has lured Lubar away from the IPG network, naming him president and chief operating officer of DDB Worldwide, a new role at the Omnicom agency.

The appointment is a strategic move to further strengthen the DDB global leadership team under CEO Marty O’Halloran, who was elevated to the position in 2020.
