Brand experience agency Strata has appointed John Farrell as its new non-executive Chairman, marking a significant milestone in the company’s continued growth journey.

The appointment follows a strategic minority investment from Ethos Partners and is aimed at accelerating Strata’s expansion, innovation and integrated service proposition across the sector.

Selected in partnership with Ethos Partners, Farrell is a respected figure in the advertising, marketing services, digital, media and brand experience world, with a strong track record on assisting companies with their growth agenda and creating associated shareholder value.

His experience includes senior roles at Huntsworth, Oliver, Feed, as well as the successful $175m exit of programmatic media company Blis to T-Mobile. His appointment reflects Strata’s ambition and readiness for its next phase of growth.

Simon Hambley, Group CEO of Strata, said: “This is a significant moment for Strata. John’s experience and industry gravitas will be vital in supporting us on the next stage of our growth journey, which we are ambitious to continue. John brings an incredible depth of sector expertise that will strengthen our leadership and help us deliver even greater value for our clients. He has already taken a proactive approach to understanding the business and shaping the thinking behind our next major strategic initiatives.”

Farrell added: “I am thrilled to take on the role of Chairman at Strata at such a pivotal time in the company’s evolution. Strata’s impressive growth and strategic acquisitions, such as On Event Production Co., Trinity Event Solutions, and Element London, have solidified its position as a leader in the integrated events and brand experiences industry. I look forward to working with the talented team at Strata to build on this momentum, ensuring we continue to deliver exceptional experiences for our clients.”
