Donnelly comes over from Publicis Media where he led the company's US sports and entertainment division.
Winter said: “Having worked with Dan for nearly two decades, I know first-hand that he brings an extraordinary level of expertise in working with significant brands across big platforms in both sports and entertainment. Dan’s reputation for innovation and his business acumen will bring tremendous value to all our partner clients.”
