LOS ANGELES (July 18, 2024) – Interpublic Group (NYSE: IPG) agency Golin announced today the promotion of Hollie Pantano to Associate Managing Director, West Coast. In this newly created role, Pantano will partner with the existing Los Angeles and San Francisco leadership teams to supercharge Golin’s West Coast offering. She will focus on supporting new business efforts, fostering a best-in-class culture and advocating for agency-wide best practices. The position is effective immediately and reports to Dawn Langeland, co-president, North America.
