KWT Global, an MDC Partners Inc. brand strategy and communications agency, has announced the promotion of agency co-founder Gabrielle Zucker to president, effective immediately. Zucker's new role comes after 14 years at the agency, where she served as executive vice president and global managing director.

“Gabrielle has been the most instrumental person in the founding of our agency,” says CEO and founder Aaron Kwittken. “Her contributions helped propel our global growth, and her award-winning client work earned us numerous, prestigious accolades over the years. I can’t think of a better partner to help me lead KWT Global.”

As president of the agency, Zucker will be responsible for agency staff leadership, business development, and operational excellence of the agency’s wholly owned offices in New York, London and Toronto. She will continue to oversee a large portfolio of brands and cross-border client relationships. All regional managing directors will report to her to streamline agency operations, while she will continue to report to Kwittken.

“I am honoured to step into this role and work alongside our world-class executive team to maximize our strategic growth opportunities, further strengthen our global footprint and ensure a bright future for KWT Global,” says Zucker. “I have been truly lucky to be a part of the agency’s story since day one and couldn’t be prouder of our incredibly talented team, which has solidified our position as one of the industry’s most unique and respected brand and PR consultancies.”
