Mike Buckley, managing partner for Brunswick Group who started its San Francisco office, is leaving the firm for the top communications slot at Facebook.
Brunswick handled communications for Facebook’s IPO last year.
Joe Lockhart left the VP/global communications post for the social network giant at the end of 2012 and has returned to WPP’s Glover Park Group.
Buckley, a Hill+Knowlton alum, led the U.S. operations for Brunswick, taking the reins on the promotion of Susan Gilchrist to global CEO last year. He spent more than a decade at Brunswick and earlier built up and led H+K’s litigation group.
He earlier worked corporate and crisis assignments for Edelman.
At Facebook, he reports to Elliot Schrage, who oversees communications and public policy at Facebook. |
