Advertising Agency OKRP designates a fresh Creative Head
After a summer of transition, the Chicago-based agency O'Keefe Reinhard and Paul (OKRP) has announced a new leader for its creative department. Aubrey Walker, who previously led the department from 2014 to 2017, has been promoted to the role of Executive Creative Director (ECD). Walker's return to the ECD position follows the departure of Laura Fegley, who joined OKRP as Chief Creative Officer (CCO) approximately a year ago. Fegley's departure marked a temporary change in leadership, with OKRP founder Matt Reinhard and CEO Tom O'Keefe stepping in to lead the department. During the transition period, Walker received assistance from both Matt Reinhard and Tom O'Keefe. Reinhard, who previously held the position of Chief Creative Officer (CCO) at OKRP, moved into a growth and innovation role following Fegley's arrival. Fegley took over a position previously held by Reinhard, who founded the agency in 2007. Tom O'Keefe, the current CEO, has been with the agency since its inception. Walker's promotion to ECD is a well-deserved recognition of her skills and dedication. She will take over from Fegley as the creative lead at OKRP, succeeding in a role she previously held successfully from 2014 to 2017. The change in leadership in the creative department at OKRP is set to bring fresh perspectives and renewed energy as the agency begins 2021. With Walker at the helm, OKRP is poised for continued success and innovation in the advertising industry.
