For over two decades, Liz Taylor has been recognized as one of the industry’s most progressive creative leaders. She is known for her collaborative and empowering leadership style, and her pivotal role in helping local and global brands find their voices in the modern world.

Taylor currently serves as global chief creative officer for Leo Burnett—a network of 80+ offices in more than 20 countries—as chief creative officer for Publicis Communications North America, and as a founding partner at Le Truc, a new business model threaded across the Publicis Groupe.

Taylor has been named an Ad Age “Woman to Watch” and a member of the Adweek “Creative 100.” Her work has been featured in the Museum of Modern Art and multiple Super Bowls, seen across the pages of Harper’s Bazaar, Fast Company and Rolling Stone, and even topped Billboard charts. Driving transformative creative solutions and culture-shaping work is what Taylor does best. Her career credits include iconic and brand-defining work for Budweiser, Clorox, Gatorade, Wrigley, Michelob Ultra, Morton Salt, Beam Suntory, GE, Kimberly-Clark, Boeing and many more.

One of the most awarded creatives in the industry, Taylor has numerous honors to her name, including Cannes Lions, One Show, D&AD, ANDY’s and Effie’s among others. Alongside the recognition of her work, she has helped set the industry bar for creativity around the world, serving on a multitude of juries that include Cannes—Digital Craft and Print & Publishing; One Show – Social Media and Integrated Campaign; and D&AD—Experiential and Direct. An industry leader in addressing workplace inequality, Taylor also served as an inaugural jury chair of the Athena Advertising Awards, held in conjunction with the 3% Movement.

A proud graduate of the University of Wisconsin and Portfolio Center, Taylor is based in her native Chicago, where she lives with her husband, a Goldendoodle and her two kids when they are home from college. When she’s not writing for work, she’s writing a memoir that she hopes will one day be published. And when she needs a break from writing, you can find her indulging in any number of her favorite things—whether binge-watching, fashion obsessing, pop culture devouring, vintage t-shirt collecting, mid-century modern furniture shopping or poker playing.
