Megan Skelly

EXECUTIVE CREATIVE DIRECTOR

I’m a creative leader with over 25 years of agency experience who has sat in almost every chair at the IAT table: AOR, Digital AOR, Social AOR, and Earned AOR. A career of curiosity and asking, “what about…?” gained me membership to a very small club of creatives that understand all of our clients’ problems and love solving them equally.   

I’m currently an EVP/Executive Creative Director at Edelman leading the US Unilever business, our largest global client; Including the brands Dove, Dove Men+Care, Vaseline, Hellmann’s, Breyers, and more. I joined Edelman in 2018 most recently from RGA where I led the creative team on Verizon.​

My prior experience spans retail to fashion, beauty to tourism, personal care to food+bev. With some financial services and spirits thrown in for good measure. My client track record includes creative oversight for TJX, Target, Nestle, Coke, Moet/Hennessey, Chase, Clinique and the great city of New Orleans. ​

I’ve been lucky enough to serve on plenty of Award Show juries over the years, including Cannes and The Effies, and Business Insider selected me as one of its 30 most creative women in advertising in 2016, when I had way less gray hair. I am especially proud to have recently led the Vaseline See My Skin work at Edelman, the agency’s most award-winning campaign to date.
