Global Digital agency Mirum is strengthening its North American Strategy team with three key hires, under the leadership of Chief Strategy Officer Mark Newcomer. Newcomer returned to Mirum in February, leading the development and build out of a unified vision for Mirum’s strategic consulting practice and contributing to the overall strategic direction of the agency.

Newcomer points to Mirum’s recent work to help Mazda USA reach premium car buyers, demonstrating how the agency helps clients define strategies, and design and build digital experiences in order to give visitors a premium experience. The newly redesigned MadzaUSA.com saw a more than 200% improvement in engagement with key site features, and received nearly five million unique visitors within the first two months.
