In New York, global ad agency Momentum Worldwide has promoted Elena Klau to fill the newly created role of Chief Strategy & Analytics Officer, Research Management.

Klau (pictured) joined the Interpublic-owned agency in 2011 to launch its Measurement and Analytics department, after which she oversaw the New York Strategy Department, while leading the measurement and analytics discipline worldwide.
