After hitting a huge 117% increase in client roster over the past 12 months, Audience has appointed Stephen McIntosh as its Client and Strategy Director.
McIntosh will lead the agency’s Client Development across all creative mediums, reporting to Managing Director, Alexander Bright.
McIntosh has over 15 years of experience overseeing client delivery on integrated campaigns for brands such as Deloitte, Google Cloud, Malaysia Airlines, American Express, Samsung and Virgin Media O2 and was recognised by C&IT as one of the ‘Top 35 UK Agency Planners Under 35’ soon after joining Audience in 2018.
He has worked across client services and delivery roles at Audience for more than 5 years, including leading on Virgin Media’s latest product launch of ‘Stream’ in 4D, a world-first OOH billboard experience, which gained industry recognition at The Drum Experience Awards at the end of last year and was shortlisted for Campaign Experience Awards earlier this month.
Prior to joining the agency, McIntosh led American Express activations and partnerships at Momentum and has worked as a senior account manager for Undercurrent.
“Stephen has been an integral member of the growing team at Audience. Clients enjoy working with him and producers really do work to high standards under his direction. I can think of no-one better in the industry to lead this department as we enter our next stage of growth.”
