VML UK appears to be banking on this statistic with its new Chief Marketing Officer appointment. Cat Davis has been named VML UK's new UK CMO, overseeing growth strategy, reputation, and marketing across diverse disciplines. Her role encompasses advertising, social, commerce, customer experience, and tech transformation, according to Shots and Adsofbrands. This move suggests significant implications for VML UK brand growth in 2026.
Many agencies claim to offer integrated solutions, yet often maintain siloed service lines. VML UK, however, is actively restructuring its leadership. It aims to ensure a truly unified approach to client growth.
VML UK is likely betting that centralizing its growth strategy under a single, empowered CMO will translate into significant competitive advantage. This approach aims to deliver demonstrably better business outcomes for its clients. Davis reports directly to VML UK Group CEO Joe Petyan, according to Shots.
