The moves represent an ongoing investment and strategic focus on strengthening McCann Worldgroup’s production capabilities, on the back of significant growth over the past 3+ years. Clark will work closely with global and regional leadership to develop production strategies across the entire portfolio of clients and champion the development of new production capabilities, taking advantage of innovations in the market.

Chris Macdonald, Chairman & CEO of McCann, said: “Simon has proven himself to be a world-class leader and has an incredible depth of experience across McCann Worldgroup’s agencies and our geographic regions. He has proven in each role that he is capable of building great teams, driving creative excellence and delivering strong growth for our clients and our business. I am excited to see how he will continue to build Craft to support our agencies and our clients.”

“Ben brings great expertise in multi-dimensional creative solutions combined with an acute understanding of clients’ business and strategic challenges and the role production can play in solving these. Critically, Ben will play a key role in bridging the creative and production communities and enabling us to continue to lead in both creativity and production excellence across this region,” said Mark Lund, President, Europe & UK, McCann Worldgroup
