Joy Farber Kolo is Chief Innovation & Integration Officer at Weber Shandwick, the premier earned-first communications and consulting agency partnering with nearly half the Fortune 100. With over three decades at the agency, Joy has consistently anticipated industry shifts – transitioning fluidly across complex leadership assignments as President and CEO of North America, Chief Brand Officer, and most recently, Chief Impact Officer.

Today, she engineers the agency's end-to-end blueprint for earned-first integrated communications. Joy directs cross-capability teams to fuse integrated media, AI-powered innovation, and data-driven creative strategy. Rather than simply managing campaigns, she actively builds integrated engines designed to outsmart algorithms, navigate complex media networks, and convert cultural moments into commercial traction.

Joy personally stewards the agency’s most ambitious, high-stakes client relationships, unlocking growth opportunities by seamlessly plugging them into the scale and firepower of the broader Omnicom ecosystem. Her strategic footprint is woven into the network's most celebrated milestones, including Ad Age A-List (2024-2026), Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies (2024-2026), and most-awarded PR agency at Cannes Lions (2023-2026).
