Azher Ahmed Biography

For over 20 years, I’ve led technology, marketing, brand and promotional efforts across virtually all categories of industry. My clients include McDonald’s, Wal-Mart, State Farm, GEICO, Comcast, Fidelity, Tyson, Abbott Labs and Mars. I started my career as a designer and strongly believe creativity is vital to solving large, complex business challenges.

I’m currently EVP/Chief Digital Officer @ DDB in the US. Prior to that, I’ve built and led digital marketing at agencies including The Martin Agency, Arnold, FCB, and Townsend (now a part of Epsilon).

My career has spanned from strategy through deployment, design through development, and theory through application across digital and traditional media channels. I help make sense of (what appears to be) chaos and believe good leadership is involved and accountable throughout.

Along the way, there have been numerous award-winning campaigns and platforms spanning mobile, web, gaming, experiential, e-mail, social and online commerce. I’ve spoken at numerous conferences including Social Media Week (NY and Chicago), SXSW, Advertising Week, Internet Week and colleges/universities. I’m also honored to be involved judging The Webby Awards and various IAB initiatives including MIXX.

The press seems to like my bantering and I’m quoted with regularity. I’ve also written a few things and would love to write more at some point.

Azher Ahmed Speaking Topics

  • Credit vs Collaboration: The Organizational Divide

    There's a stark contrast between “owning” an idea versus collaborating in an open structure. It's often the root of the divide between “traditional” and “digital/new media” people. Because good ideas evolve into better ideas through collaboration and open input, organizations that can effectively bridge these camps are the ones that will survive. Let’s Kumbaya with Azher Ahmed, SVP Director of Digital Operations at DDB Chicago.
