For Hugh, twenty years in senior brand marketing positions client-side – with the likes of Bally Shoes, Levi's and the Burton Group - has given him a unique perspective on Growth. "It's vital that businesses invest in understanding their customers and that their business objectives and brand stories are perfectly aligned with that understanding". It's a philosophy he's applied agency-side over many years with Y&R, Wunderman and Marden Kane, working on Adidas, The Mirror Group and Microsoft among others. Hugh also sits on a number of industry bodies and appears as an industry spokesperson on the BBC.
