Hartt joins the Omnicom unit from Burson-Marsteller UK, where he was a senior director in the corporate and crisis practice in that WPP operation’s London office. He was previously stationed with Edelman for nearly a decade, where he most recently served as a vice president in the top independent agency's international affairs practice in Washington, D.C.
Earlier in his career, Hartt was an associate account executive at Washington, D.C.-based public affairs and communications agency Susan Davis International and an associate at public affairs shop Chlopak, Leonard, Schechter & Associates.
In the cross-practice role, Hartt will lead international affairs efforts for FH’s London outpost while bridging the agency’s media relations, public affairs, digital and creative capabilities.
The global PR firm’s FleishmanHillard Fishburn operation was created as the result of a 2015 merger between FH’s former UK outpost and London-based agency Fishburn.
