Bio

Kamran Asghar is the Global CEO and Co-Founder of Crossmedia. He began his advertising career in 1997 at Ogilvy & Mather, where he helped pioneer integrated communications planning and led the launch of American Express Blue, the most successful card debut in that company's history. When holding companies began separating media buying from creative strategy during the "unbundling era," he co-founded Crossmedia in October 2000 to keep those disciplines unified, accountable, and neutral. Asghar was named an Adweek Media All-Star in 2014 and Adweek's Media Executive of the Year in 2022.
