LOS ANGELES — Golin has promoted Hollie Pantano to West Coast head as part of a larger effort to expand the agency’s business across the region.

In the newly created associate managing director role, Pantano will work with Golin’s Los Angeles and San Francisco leaders to bolster the agency’s West Coast offering. She will focus on supporting new business efforts, fostering company culture and advocating for agency-wide best practices.

The position is effective immediately. Pantano, an eight-year Golin vet who most recently served as an executive director, reports to North America co-president Dawn Langeland.

"Hollie's exceptional track record in New York and her integral role in some of our most significant client wins make her the ideal leader to partner with our established and experienced West Coast team to build upon our strong foundation and help drive our West Coast operations forward," said Langeland.

Said Pantano, "I'm thrilled to take on this new challenge and work alongside our talented West Coast teams. I look forward to building on our strong foundation and driving continued success for our clients and our agency in this key market."
