Bio
Ross Duncan
Simon is a gentleman and good media brain. He helped Just Eats’ growth ambition both in the UK and internationally. He understands what levers can drive true growth and helped his team deliver excellent campaigns/value on behalf of Just Eat. He genuinely cares about the client and client revenue, which is a rarity in the agency world.
Florie Roudet
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Simon. His sheer determination and passion for our business has been a true asset, especially as we have had to navigate a lot of change together. He has galvanised the rest of the agency team at UM with his positive attitude - meetings with Simon are actions driven, strategic but also fun! Feedback is taken onboard and dealt with in a constructive way. I believe he is a key reason why our agency/client relationship is so strong and healthy.
