The 21 ad execs that wield the most power and influence over Facebook

Everson has been reaching out to the company's many advertisers, helping them understand the ramifications of the crisis, as well as the steps Facebook has taken since it erupted.
But there's one group that was notified first and foremost - and wields more influence than anyone else at Facebook.
That group is the "Facebook Client Council," a 21-person team comprising marketing heavyweights from both brands and ad agencies who work closely with Facebook executives including Everson to improve its products and help it cater better to the industry's needs.
Some prominent members include Proctor & Gamble global marketing chief Marc Pritchard and Unilever chief marketing officer Keith Weed - who publicly vowed to reduce spend on Google and Facebook recently but has been conspicuously silent since the latest blunder came to light.
As Facebook comes under fire for its seemingly never-ending string of missteps, and some advertisers question spending on the platform, the council is armed with more power than ever to push the industry's collective concerns.
Here's a list of the council's 21 current members.
