This challenging role involved establishing and leading the team to identify, drive and grow relationships with key advertisers to understand their business to build strategic solutions for partnerships and revenue growth. I oversaw award winning complex, innovative and cross functional partnerships to meet client objectives. My distinctive responsibility is what I call the ‘client inside’ – to be the voice of the brand inside The Guardian to relentlessly challenge and ensure the very best thinking and output to meet success criteria.Acting as a commercial ambassador to the editorial desks, I engaged key stakeholders and developed new ad propositions and opportunities to appeal to advertisers and their media agencies, including the launch of 3 new verticals – travel, food & drink and B2B.I was able to bring my senior media agency and industry leadership experience, as well as my energy and passion, to the publisher side to change the approach to client prioritisation, engagement and marketing, install best practice and raise The Guardian profile with clients. Working alongside my SLT peers, I was responsible for the P&L performance and sales, marketing and operations strategy and implementation.

My challenge was to balance the focus on the ‘now’, whilst striving for tomorrow’s growth - as a business and for our clients. Running the UK agency involved working in collaboration with global peers across the Havas Group on client alignment, global prospecting and pitching.As MD, I successfully steered Havas Media through a large structural, operational and commercial re-structure whilst holding the hearts and minds of the agency. In this period, we also celebrated many new business successes including winning the much-desired BBC business, Pernod Ricard UK, Birds Eye and Nando's.Obsessed with authenticity and ‘practice what you preach’, I launched Havas Media’s talent proposition ‘meaningfulplacetowork’ to reflect the positioning as ‘The Home of Meaningful Brands’. We worked on how we should live purpose - together, and as individuals - to behave as a ‘Meaningful Brand’ aligned to clients and the agency position in market.

  • Mpg
    Account Director
    Mpg Jan 2002 - Dec 2005
    I was the day-to-day lead on Thomson holidays and Pernod Ricard UK where I led the deal for Jacob’s Creek sponsorship of Friends. Something I am so proud of, to this day. It was one of the toughest pitches and it was down to pure determination and belief in this sponsorship as the right solution to the brands problem that it was eventually signed off. I also worked on Orange and with my experience from WWAV Rapp Collins was able to set up Orange Direct.
