My main objective is to build upon the foundation Nancy has established by working with our deeply talented and experienced Serino/Coyne team, our esteemed clients and industry peers to continue developing best-in-market campaigns for the shows we all love. Our business is more sophisticated than ever. Our depth of experience in data analysis, digital marketing and attention-getting creative content, coupled with our strong Omnicom relationships, places us in a unique position to partner with our clients on the next era of live entertainment marketing," said Desimini.
