EURO RSCG CHICAGO PROMOTES DEIRDRE EGAN, HIRES LIZ LANG
Euro RSCG Chicago has named marketing and advertising veteran Liz Lang an account director, for which she will oversee the agency’s work on Beam Global spirits.
Lang joined Euro from Translation’s Chicago office, where – as senior account director – she led the team that successfully changed perception of State Farm Insurance. The team’s work ignited a viral pop-cultural response in the social space and drove product growth and new policies. Before that, with GSP Marketing in Chicago, Lang worked on brands that included Naturalizer and Sears. She has extensive experience uniting internal, partner agency and client teams in the integrated development of multifaceted campaigns.
Beam Global brands on which Lang will work include Sauza Tequila, Hornitos Tequila, Tres Generaciones Tequila, EFFEN Vodka, and Pucker Vodka.
“Liz’s background in all aspects of integrated work, as well as her strategic insight and creative passion, make her a fantastic addition to our Euro team,” said Deirdre Egan, managing director of Euro Chicago. “She is quickly establishing herself as a great client partner.”
