Jonathan Daly is the definition of a hybrid strategist, with more than 15 years industry under his belt earned both in agency and in-house, and ranging from government relations to public relations to pure play advertising. He joins Johanness Leonardo from Droga5 where he served as Head of Communications Strategy. Prior roles include senior engagements at agencies that include Ogilvy, dentsu | mcgarrybowen, Anomaly, Lowe Roche, & Maclaren McCann. 

Before that, he served as a Senior External Relations Officer with the World Bank Group in the agency’s Washington and Paris offices, where he was part of the communications team tasked with advancing the Bank’s development agenda through coordinated, high-profile stakeholder and media initiatives, branded government relations efforts, and crisis response management. 

Jonathan’s diverse background includes a wealth of brand experience. He has led brand and go-to-market strategy development for brands including Meta, Hard Rock Sportsbook, Instagram, Coors Light, Hard Rock Sportsbook, Meta, Northrop Grumman, Verizon, Subway, United Airlines, BRP, Budweiser, Bud Light, Shock Top, Rosemount Wines, Penfolds, MINI, Spotify, Hershey, COTY, Sally Hansen, Northrop Grumman, Becel, Tresemme, Johnson Insurance, KPMG, Microsoft, MINI, Alimentation Couche-Tard, Circle K, Johnson & Johnson, and the Canadian Cancer Society.

In his off time, he’s a pop-culture junkie, likely found threading (RIP Twitter or whatever we call it now) about the latest meme trending across the Web or Instagramming his weekend. 

He is also incredibly tall.
