Joe Maglio

CEO Cheil Agency Network

In 2025 Joe became CEO of the new Cheil Agency Network, while retaining his role as CEO of McKinney and Barbarian. The Cheil Agency Network includes McKinney, Iris, Barbarian, Attention Arc and CYLNDR Studios.

Joe Maglio was named CEO of McKinney in October 2018 — just the fifth CEO in McKinney’s 56-year history. Since then, the agency has grown to a record size by welcoming new client partners including Little Caesars and Popeyes, expanding into new cities and launching new verticals, such as health & wellness and influencer marketing. During his tenure, McKinney has been named both an A-List Standout Agency and a Best-Place-to-Work by Ad Age, a finalist for Agency-of-the-Year by Adweek and named a Media-Team-of-the-Year by Campaign, in addition to winning countless creative awards.

Previously, Joe held senior roles at Publicis and Havas, which included leading a portfolio of each respective agency's largest clients. Joe is active in the advertising industry and was elected to the 4A’s National Board as a Director-At-Large, and joined the Ad Council Board of Directors in October 2025. His other interests include film production, angel investing, and charitable work — he served as president of the Board of Directors for the 501(c)(3) organization, Safety Saints, and currently acts as a board advisor.
