Stratacomm announced a new executive leadership structure designed to further enhance the agency’s strategic focus and strengthen how teams deliver integrated marketing communications solutions for clients. The changes reflect the agency’s commitment to delivering smart strategy and measurable impact on every client engagement.
The transition formalizes new seats for managing partners Bill Buff, Kristi Tyll, John Fitzpatrick and Travis Austin, each moving from shared responsibility for daily operations into more defined leadership roles.
Bill Buff now serves as chief executive officer and senior partner, guiding Stratacomm’s strategic direction, strengthening its culture of collaboration, and driving innovations that continuously elevate the agency’s value for clients.
Kristi Tyll is now chief client officer and senior partner, leading client leadership across the agency and setting the standards of excellence that drive consistent, high-quality outcomes across all client engagements.
John Fitzpatrick moves into the role of chief growth officer and senior partner, overseeing business development, marketing and partnerships, while continuing to offer client counsel in key areas.
Travis Austin becomes chief strategy officer and senior partner, leading agency-wide strategic planning and actionable insights that strengthen agency solutions across all practice areas.
To bring fresh perspective and broaden the agency’s expertise, Stratacomm also announces Darren Scher is joining the agency as chief operating and integration officer. Scher brings more than 20 years of experience leading creative teams, serving as a chief operating officer and ultimately chief executive officer at his former agency. He will lead the agency’s integrated service teams and enhance overall operations.
Stratacomm is establishing focused practice groups to champion our core agency offerings. Four current partners are assuming elevated roles to better tap their respective skillsets and deep subject matter expertise on behalf of our clients:
- Jennifer Flanery, enterprise account lead and partner
- Karah Davenport, corporate communications practice group lead and partner
- Jacqueline Wilson, marketing practice group lead and partner
- Charlotte Seigler, public affairs practice group lead and partner
“While the environment around us continues to evolve, Stratacomm is responding with intention. By refining our leadership structure, we’re strengthening our ability to deliver clear strategy, an exceptional experience and meaningful results for the clients we serve,” said Buff. “Establishing a C-suite and clarifying leadership roles positions our agency to deliver the outcomes that matter most to our clients.”
