M&C Saatchi Group appointed Nadja Bellan-White as CEO, M&C Saatchi North America Group in December 2024. Nadja has served as CEO of M&C Saatchi SS+K since January 2024 and continues in that role, leads the network’s growth in the U.S. and oversees the further integration of its agencies. She works with U.S. regional leaders to leverage the agencies’ specialized talent to build and deploy bespoke teams, custom-designed to solve clients’ most important business challenges. Nadja brings a fresh perspective and innovative approach in marketing and public affairs to the firm. Her appointment marks a significant milestone in her career, which includes a tenure as Vice Media Group's first Global Chief Marketing Officer. There, she developed enterprise brand strategies and oversaw marketing, brand strategy, data and insights across over 25 countries.


Prior to Vice, Nadja led brand transformations at WPP for Unilever and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Known for her ability to navigate complex socio-political environments, Nadja’s vast experience in integrated marketing and communications makes her a key figure in transforming brands. Her recognition as AdColor’s Legend Award recipient and one of Ad Age Europe's "Women to Watch" underscores her influence in the industry. Nadja’s human-first approach, blending data, creativity, and technology, has established her as a formidable leader in the marketing world.


Nadja champions the concept of Noble Purpose, which redefines the idea of purpose-driven initiatives from the notion of only doing good to one that helps brands find their reason for being. She has leveraged SS+K’s political experience and her own deep understanding of sociocultural trends to help brands communicate in a divisive and complicated landscape. She has proudly stood by her record of prioritizing diverse voices and teams in the face of backlash to DEI.
