Accenture Interactive has appointed Nick Law (pictured left) as its global lead, design and creative tech, as well as Sarah Thompson (pictured right), former global CEO of Droga5, as its global lead, communications and content.
Law is responsible for leading Accenture Interactive’s service and experience design capabilities to help clients further modernise their approach and meet their customers’ ever-evolving needs. According to the company, his decades-long commitment to and obsession with progressive, future-facing design will energise Accenture Interactive’s mission to help its clients drive growth and relevance. Law was most recently VP, marcom integration at Apple and was previously CCO at Publicis Groupe and R/GA.
Law said when David Droga became the CEO of Accenture Interactive , it was a clear statement of the company’s oversized creative ambitions. "I didn’t need much convincing to have a conversation with him; and once I did, to get excited by the company’s astonishing breadth and depth of capabilities," he said.
Meanwhile, Thompson will oversee Accenture Interactive’s global creative agency capabilities which include brand, digital engagement, content and media. She will specifically focus on unifying and growing Accenture Interactive’s creative agency capabilities around the world to bring the best thinking forward while connecting teams across our capabilities and offerings to architect, activate, and accelerate growth for clients.
Thompson said she is thrilled to take on a broader role within the leadership team of Accenture Interactive, especially at a time when businesses worldwide need a growth acceleration partner to help them drive their growth and ability to meet the ever-shifting needs of modern customers.
These leadership appointments come on the heels of Accenture Interactive’s appointment of Neil Heymann as its first global chief creative officer and Jatinder Singh as global lead of data and analytics. According to Droga, two of the very first calls he made when he took on this new role were to Law and Thompson respectively.
"Law is someone I have admired for well over a decade. From R/GA to Apple, he is truly one of the most future-facing, design, technology and communications leaders. His work has inspired millions, grown revenue by the billions and set new benchmarks for how design and tech need one another to thrive. And Thompson, well she has without a doubt been one of my most trusted and influential Droga5 partners, and certainly one of the smartest and most authentic people I have ever met. We are spoiled and excited to have such exceptional leaders join this already incredible leadership team," he said.
