“Starting the next phase of my career at GroupM, the world’s largest media investment company, and an organisation dedicated to combining the power of media, digital, technology and data to drive client growth is an exciting prospect,” said King.

“Clients want business partners that can help them navigate the complex media and technology ecosystem and provide consultancy services on digital transformation all the way through from strategy to implementation and delivery. I’m looking forward to getting started and working with GroupM agencies to deliver that.”
