\Ovative Group announced their newest VPs who are changing the marketing industry for the better. Jen Alcott received an internal promotion to Vice President of Client Services, and Troy Neidermire, a 14-year Target Corporation alumni, will serve as the Vice President of Measurement and Enabling Solutions. Both are the latest additions to Ovative’s leadership team. They share a relentless focus on driving results and a desire to transform the measure of marketing success. At Ovative, an independent media and measurement firm, they help clients tackle the most complex marketing challenges, using Enterprise Marketing Return (EMR) as their gold standard metric. EMR is a unified optimization metric that aligns business leaders to the metrics that impact their business most.

“We believe that the power of Ovative is in bringing together talent with different perspectives to bring EMR to life.”

For the past three years, Alcott has handled defining and executing cross-channel media strategies and driving operational excellence across disciplines with Ovative’s leading retail clients, including Tapestry (Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman). Alcott joined Ovative with 16 years of experience at Best Buy and Target including social media and multichannel strategy. She will report to Jesse Grittner, Senior Vice President of Growth.

“As our business continues to grow, we are committed to investing in team development and capabilities to ensure that we have the right structure in place to support current and future scale,” said Grittner. “Jen’s promotion reflects those commitments, and we are proud of the impact Jen has already had on our team members, our clients, and Ovative as a whole.”

At Ovative, 60% of the VP+ leadership team are women, compared to the corporate average of 30%. The strength of Ovative’s leadership team reflects the inclusive culture that is intentionally built each day and continued dedication to elevating new perspectives.
