Bob Jeffrey is the Chairman and CEO of JWT Worldwide, the world’s best-known marketing communications brand for close to 150 years. As JWT’s CEO, Jeffrey is responsible for 200 offices and nearly 10,000 employees in more than 90 countries.

Jeffrey closely oversees relationships with blue-chip global clients including HSBC, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly-Clark, Kraft, Nestlé, Nokia, Royal Caribbean, Schick, Shell and Unilever.

Jeffrey’s mission is to lead JWT into the future by making things inspired by the world. This blending of international imagination and technological innovation is a process he calls worldmade. It is through this process that Jeffrey has delivered a freshly reinvigorated network prepared to guide and build some of the world’s most powerful brands.

Top priority for Jeffrey is the ongoing search for the very best talent and, naturally, an absolute focus on creativity. JWT continues to excel at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, picking up a total of 49 Lions in 2011, topping the previous high mark of 42 Lions awarded in 2010. JWT once again made history at this year’s festival by winning the first ever Grand Prix Lion awarded to mainland China.

Jeffrey is regarded as an ambassador of advertising and is widely respected for his views and achievements. His knowledge and experience of the industry led him to become a regular contributor to Fox Business Network, CNBC and CNN, as well as a frequent source of quotes for leading trade and business publications. He also hosts a new Web series called “Worldmakers," interviewing influencers from the tech, media and brand space. The show airs on JWT's YouTube channel and has been featured on The Huffington Post, Marketing UK, HollywoodLife.com and more. 

David Eastman holds the distinction of being the first digital native to be named CEO of a major full-service agency, in this case the oldest such agency in America. David's appointment sends a loud signal that in a world where communications are increasingly digital, mobile and social, pre-existing conventions of "digital" shops and "general shops" no longer make sense.

Embracing and evangelizing a spirit of "GO" David is playing a major role in helping brands be more agile and adaptive in a world where consumers interpret, reinterpret and reinvent brands on the edges of today's digital/social graph - as opposed to the days when most of that brand definition and direction emanated from the center.

As CEO of JWT North America, David is responsible for the overall management and strategic direction of the North American network, with a particular focus on the NY headquarters office.

David is also Worldwide Digital Director for JWT. In this role, he is responsible for the strategic oversight and management of the digital discipline within JWT and all subsidiary companies.

He has been involved in technology since 1997. Before joining JWT in 2008, he was Chief Executive of the Omnicom-owned Republic Family. There he looked after a portfolio of interactive agencies ranging from digital creative to marketing technology, and including five-time UK digital agency of the year, Agency Republic. Prior to that, he spent seven years at TBWA-aligned Agency.com, where he was promoted to the role of President & Worldwide Chief Executive. At Agency.com, he was responsible for all aspects of worldwide operations and was also a member of the TBWA global operating group.

His client experience includes many of the world's best-known brands, including Microsoft, Bloomberg, Johnson & Johnson, British Airways, T-Mobile, Mercedes, Macy's, JetBlue and The Economist.

David is on the Board of The Ad Council, the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4A's), the Advertising Education Foundation and Social Media Week. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in the U.K. and a TEDster. David also completed the Omnicom/Harvard Business School senior management program. He has had articles published in or been interviewed for The Times, Business Week, New Media Age and Revolution magazine, and speaks regularly at high-profile events including the Cannes Ad Festival, Internet World, Mobile World, SXSW and Social Media Week.
