Prior to her arrival at the agency, Conroy held senior roles marketing roles at Condé Nast Publications, Saatchi & Saatchi and Kitcatt Nohr.
Of her appointment, Conroy said: “I’m very happy to have played a part in the DigitasLBi story and to have helped to strengthen our reputation in the UK over the last four years. I’m really looking forward to working with Fern and my colleagues in other regions to further elevate our brand at an international level.”
Miller added: “As we continue to grow our brand and build our reputation across international markets, Julia's track record in building agency brands will be invaluable.”
