“Our newly formed Advisory Board will provide us — and our audiences — with the thought leadership and expertise we all need to help navigate the complex and constantly shifting ecosystem of today’s marketing and media world,” said Adweek editorial director James Cooper. “Adweek’s ultimate goal each day is helping our readers stay ahead of the curve and do their jobs better, and we couldn’t have asked for a more admirable group to help us accomplish that mission.”

“I am excited to be partnering with Adweek and joining its Advisory Board,” said GE CMO Linda Boff. “With digital transformation built into our DNA, we are in an especially unique position to guide and advise Adweek and the business community it serves.”

The Advisory Board will meet regularly with Adweek’s senior editorial team at gatherings across the country to discuss the pressing issues of the day.

The pressure to deliver is daunting for even the most experienced here," said board member Colleen DeCourcy, chief creative officer for agency network Wieden + Kennedy. “When an organization like Adweek consciously turns its efforts to developing our talent, I am all in.
