Previously the Data Lead at PHD in the UK, Frangeskides brings over 10 years of experience in multi-channel planning and buying, data management, analytics and reporting, project management, research and insight development. He has worked with agencies, media and clients, giving him a unique perspective on the advertising industry.
Frangeskides will lead on the client solution portfolio, including Omni, Omnicom’s people-based, precision marketing and insights platform. Both strategic and operational, he will be part of the team working on the business transformation of the group’s clients.
Frangeskides’ mission is to ensure Omnicom Media Group’s clients across the region have access to best-in-class marketing products and consultation. These include bespoke analytics, a new multi-touch attribution tool and addressable audience activation.
Working on OMG MENA’s internal systems, Cherviakov will lead on the transformation of the agencies through automation. Several projects are under way to strengthen the group’s current tech stack, with more to follow.
A senior software engineer and a certified ethical hacker, Cherviakov has long focused on making technology work for his clients. In his 15-year career, Cherviakov has worked across varied sectors, including IT, automotive, trade/logistics, oil and gas, and media, in both the public and private sectors.
