In 2015 Mark received an MBE in the Queen’s New Year’s Honour’s list for services to commercial radio. Before joining Radiocentre, Mark spent 18 years as a strategic media planner on blue-chip clients across several agencies, most recently as Communications Planning Director at Universal McCann where, amongst others, he ran the Bacardi Martini, Nestle, MasterCard and Microsoft accounts. This agency experience continues to inform Mark’s perspective on designing and implementing robust research projects that consistently stand up to the toughest scrutiny.
