As the Chief Executive Officer at MSQ Partners Ltd, I’m passionate about helping brands drive growth, whilst building a next-generation marketing group that leads the industry on issues such as sustainability and diversity. I co-founded MSQ in 2011 as I believe that brands require more flexible and agile agency relationships, bringing together multiple disciplines around a single strategic and creative platform. MSQ has grown to become an international network of 9 leading agencies, with more than 850 brilliant people working in 13 offices around the world. Our specialists fuse human insight with data, technology, and creativity to create connected experiences that attract, convert, retain and grow valuable customers. MSQ agencies span Research & Insights (Freemavens), Brand Design Consultancy (Holmes & Marchant), Web & Digital Product Development (MMT Digital), Full-Service Digital (twentysix), PR & Content (Smarts), Customer Acquisition and Engagement (MBAstack), B2B Marketing (Stein IAS) and Full-Service Creative and Media (The Gate, Walk-In Media/Agenda21).Today I lead the Group’s ambitious growth strategy and continue to make sure that clients across the group have access to the right resources to meet their needs. In my spare time, I am also Non-Exec Chairman of Xupes, a leading pre-owned luxury, e-commerce retailer. Previously, I was the CEO of Media Square plc, the prior incarnation of MSQ, and before that I was a leading member of McKinsey & Co’s Media and Digital practice. I currently advise HMG on best practice in comms, sitting on the Cabinet Office’s Strategy and Evaluation Council, and hold an MBA from INSEAD.
