About me

Jim was appointed CEO of ENGINE in the UK in September 2018, where he is accountable for the strategic vision for Engine, the largest independent marketing services group in the UK. During that time he has led the group on a transformation from 14 separate agencies to one integrated business, under one brand and with a unified P and L.

Jim joined Engine from R/GA, where over the previous decade he set up R/GA's presence in Europe and Asia, opening 8 offices across both regions, hiring over 600 employees and generating annual revenues of £80m from a standing start. Prior to this Jim had stints at AKQA, as a Client for Nike in the UK, France and Argentina. He started his career as a graduate trainee at AMV.BBDO.

Known as a builder of culture, an innovator and a curator of breakthrough work, his career spans consulting, product & service design, digital innovation, as well as integrated advertising and communication, working with the word's most iconic and progressive brands, including Nike, Google, Uber, Beats by Dre, Xbox, Apple, Coca Cola and Unilever.
