Sheryl Marjoram, CEO said: “Jessica is a bold and open leader with a proven track record. We’re enjoying great success at the moment, but we don’t plan to rest on our laurels and the hiring of Jessica is testament to this. We are gearing up for another great year fuelled all the better by an even stronger leadership team. I personally could not be more thrilled to have her by my side.”

On her new appointment Jessica Tamsedge said: “I couldn’t be more excited to be joining the team at McCann. The collaborative spirit is palpable at every level, from the integrated Worldgroup offering to the vision of the agency’s leadership and great creative work. I look forward to supporting McCann’s agenda for creative growth and making sure we have fun while we’re at it.”
