“I'm thrilled to be joining the team at GroupM and of their agencies. It's rare in this industry to have the opportunity to work in a role that no one has done before - I can't wait to get started. The move also completes a personal hat-trick: having recently welcomed a new baby, moving into a new house and taking on this new role. All change please”, his LinkedIn post read.
With over 18 years of advertising experience garnered at Publicis and Zenith in client leadership, and business development and agency leadership roles, Jon is renowned for his deep understanding of client needs and driving a strong culture in the team he leads.

After 18 years at Zenith and Publicis Media it’s time for a new challenge, and it’s very rare in this industry to do a job no one has done before and build something entirely new.”
“With the U.K. being one of GroupM’s largest markets, I am delighted to lean on Jon and Katie’s wealth of experience to lead our growth and marketing teams to continued success, driving optimal value for our clients, colleagues and partners.” said Josh Krichefski, GroupM U.K. & EMEA CEO.
