Vogel said: “It’s a privilege to re-join the MFA Board. I have always been a strong supporter of the MFA and of a united media agency industry, and this is even more important as we continue to grapple with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, a growing talent shortage and evolving developments around transparency and verification. I look forward to working with my fellow board members to continue to build on the great work they are doing.”
