JP SchuermanShe joined MWW mid-2016 from Eastwick after a nearly three-year stint, exiting as senior VP-client services.
Earlier, Clyne was at Herrick Media (VP) and Brisbane Digital Consulting Group (senior director-corporate communications).
Scheuerman joined MWW in 2012 as executive VP/western region following the acquisition of his shop, Enso Communications.
He was responsible for beefing up MWW's consumer, technology, entertainment, travel and LGBT practices in its offices Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas, which has since closed.
Kempner said in 2015 he upped Schuerman to the regional presidency to reward his "motivating leadership, contagious positivity and entrepreneurial spirit."
Prior to MWW, Schuerman was executive VP/general manager of Edelman's Los Angeles office and executive VP/chief strategist at CarryOn Communications.
