The Head of Creative Strategy is a new role in ITV Creative that will sit on the Creative Leadership team alongside the Executive Creative Director, Head of Campaign Management, Head of Production and Head of Post Production.
ITV Creative said that Jezierski will be specifically responsible for embedding strategy within the agency and working closely with the ECD ensuring all future output feels ambitious, innovative and cohesive across all areas of the business. Her brief is to continually raise the creative output developed by ITV Creative for ITV and its partner brands, plus ITVX.

She has a brilliant brain which will help us all to raise our creative game, and a warmth and generosity that will fit perfectly with ITV’s culture. We can’t wait for her to join the team and challenge us all to think a little differently.”
Jezierski added: “It’s great to be working with Niki again, and across such fantastic programming and platforms. ITV belongs at the heart of UK culture and it’s an exciting task for us at ITV Creative to help make that happen.”
