RAPP UK Recruits Senior Executive Ed Lee to New Client Leadership Director Role

RAPP UK has announced the appointment of industry leader Ed Lee to the newly-created role of executive client leadership director. Ed joins from customer experience agency MullenLowe Profero where he was managing director. He also served as global client partner for Mullen Lowe Group.

Ed Lee said: “I’ve admired RAPP from a distance for a while and have always been hugely impressed by the business they’ve won, the work they’ve made and the thoroughly brilliant RAPP people I’ve met along the way. The world has been turned on its head the last two years. Some agencies have failed, some have held on – RAPP have thrived. Their ambition is hugely exciting and exactly what clients are looking for from agencies. With such a depth of diverse talents, RAPP are perfectly placed to deliver it”.
