Tangney joins ICR from Makovsky, where he was executive vice president and led that agency’s financial and professional services practice for more than a decade. Prior to that, he was executive VP and group managing director at Publicis Dialog and an executive VP at agency LobsenzStevens.

At ICR, Tangney will counsel and service clients with a focus on corporate, financial and professional services sectors while supporting the agency’s growth in new areas. He’ll be based in ICR’s New York headquarters.

“I was searching for an opportunity to collaborate in a dynamic culture, apply my many years of agency experience and help an agency grow. ICR is a great fit,” Tangney told O’Dwyer’s. “The fast growing corporate communications group is delivering top-notch corporate reputation and thought leadership work.”

ICR is currently ranked the number-one firm for financial PR in O’Dwyer’s rankings of PR firms, reporting more than $37 million in finance-related net fees in 2015.
