McCann London Hires Sheryl Marjoram as Managing Director

McCann London announced today that it has further strengthened its management team with the appointment of Sheryl Marjoram as Managing Director.

Marjoram joins from Saatchi & Saatchi where she was a Managing Partner, leading its Asda account – before this she worked at Mother, heading up the Atom Bank and Mondalez accounts, as well as new business.  In the newly created role at McCann, she will work as part of the agency’s senior management to ensure the continued delivery of best-in-class service across its roster of clients as well as help provide leadership for the agency.

In her 20-year advertising career, Marjoram has also worked at Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Ogilvy & Mather and Leith London and her appointment as MD marks a return to McCann after a 14-year break – when she previously worked there as a Business Director.

Alex Lubar, the chief executive of McCann London, said: “Sheryl is joining us at a thrilling time of ongoing growth and impressive creative output.  She will be a fantastic addition to the executive team – she’s super-smart, enthusiastic and energetic, an inspiring leader and an unequivocal ambassador of creativity.”

Marjoram added: “There’s a real sense of excitement at McCann London, I felt the energy and ambition from my very first conversations.  And with the work and the renaissance the agency is undergoing under Alex’s leadership, I can’t wait to build on that momentum.  It’s also back to a great agency that meant so much to me in the past.”

The agency has seen a number of promotions with Theo Izzard-Brown taking up the position of Chief Strategic Officer in recognition of his significant contribution to the agency’s work and recent new business wins.  Karen Crum has also been promoted to Head of Strategy, having previously been a Planning Partner on MasterCard.
