Bio
Lynette Argent
Kate headed up Human, IAG’s bespoke creative agency between 2006-2010 when I was Head of Marketing. Kate was responsible for building the agency from the ground up to meet our specific requirements. Kate partnered closely with myself and my team to understand our business in order to create the best possible agency structure and team to deliver highly effective internal and external brand and marketing campaigns. Kate applies a highly strategic and creative mindset to business problems and can deliver unique and effective solutions time and time again. She is a passionate agency leader and partner and produced outstanding work on our behalf while we worked together.

Kate is an incredibly smart woman. She has a great sense of business, but never loses the human perspective. I have worked for and with Kate both at FCB and human and at both companies have been impressed by what she has achieved. She understands what clients need and is never afraid to speak her mind. She's dedicated to making a difference in the world of business and if everyone would run a company like she does, there would be a lot more happy companies around. Thank you, Kate.
