Meet our new Group CEO – Andrew Swinand
Andrew Swinand has been appointed as our new Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) to build on our exponential growth and deliver our mission to redefine marketing for brands around the world with our tech-led approach to content creation.
Andrew's joining us on the back of some incredible recognition for our approach to brand activation, along with another year of strong growth.
Recent developments include the announcement of our new content production with John Lewis Partnership, as well as our Storyteq platform being named a ‘Strong Performer’ in The Forrester Wave™: Digital Asset Management Systems 2024 and ‘Leader’ in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Content Marketing Platforms 2023.
The appointment sees Simon Ward move into a Founder role, continuing to be a passionate ambassador for everything we do at ITG, both internally and externally, as well as an adviser to Andrew.
Building on an extensive career in marketing and advertising that includes roles with P&G, Starcom MediaVest Group and most recently as CEO of Leo Burnett and Publicis Creative in the US, Andrew sees the opportunity to extend ITG's end-to-end services and our award-winning Storyteq marketing technology as the perfect platform to redefine the industry and update the way brands produce content.
Supported by Darren Singer (Group CFO), Sue Mountford (ITG CEO) and the senior leadership team at Storyteq, Andrew will bring this strategy to life, delivering for an impressive roster of clients such as Jaguar Land Rover, Haleon, KFC, Heineken, M&S, PUMA and others, while also bringing more global brands under the Group umbrella.
