“With Maggie, Tom, and Andy at the helm, we have devised and implemented a marketing communications structure that is agile and scalable to meet the evolving needs of our clients, sectors, and enterprise,” said Chief Executive Officer Steven McKay, AIA, RIBA.

Global Marketing Leader Maggie Flickinger leads strategic marketing activity for DLR Group and the career development of the firm’s marketing professionals. She mentors and coaches sector marketing and pursuit teams to attract, engage, convert, and retain prospects, clients, and talent. She also leads a dedicated enterprise marketing team in developing a creative vision for content marketing across the firm’s digital and print channels. Flickinger joined DLR Group in 2014 and is based in the Denver office.

Global Business Development Leader Tom Mitchell will direct his passion for people and new business acumen toward shaping the firm’s business development strategy. His mission is not merely transactional but transformative, as he mentors and guides more than 40 dedicated business development professionals and integrated design professionals in networking and the sale of professional services. His 19-year journey with DLR Group has honed his ability to champion large-scale project pursuits. He is based in the Kansas City office.

Global Brand Leader Andy Ernsting will continue to lead the development of the DLR Group design brand. His team curates a brand identity that resonates with employee-owners, clients, design talent, and media influencers. Since joining the firm in 2007, he has become a trusted advisor to the CEO and executive leaders for communications strategy and messaging to clearly convey brand position, annual initiatives, and change management to target audiences. He is based in the Kansas City office.

These changes come concurrently with McKay announcing the appointment of John Fuller to chief operating officer. He was previously chief marketing officer, working closely with Flickinger, Mitchell, and Ernsting.
