Communications agency mcm creative is marking its 25th anniversary with a new leadership structure, appointing Alex Milligan as managing director alongside an expanded executive team.
Milligan, who has served as financial director for the past five years, steps up to managing director and will be joined on the executive leadership team by Natalie Allen as director of client services, Hugo Dawson as director of strategy and content, and Rob Morrison as client engagement director. All four join the mcm main board.
The changes also see founder Nicky Milligan move from managing director into a new chief executive officer role after 15 years leading the agency. Nicky Milligan remains on the board, which continues to report to mcm founder and chairman Neil Crespin.
The restructure comes during a period of growth for the independent agency, with new client wins and investment in senior talent. mcm says the expanded leadership reflects its continued evolution as a creative communications agency, with greater depth across strategy, content, creative and experience.
Alex Milligan said: “Twenty-five years gives us an incredible foundation, but what excites us most is the opportunity ahead. We’re at a point where there’s real momentum in the business and permission to think bigger — about the kind of agency we want to be, the work we want to be known for and where we choose to invest our energy and ambition.”
Neil Crespin said: “I’m enormously proud of what mcm has become. And I’m excited that its next chapter won’t simply be a continuation of the last one.”
