We Are Social, a global socially-led creative agency, announced the promotion of Jim Coleman to EMEA CEO.

Jim Coleman, previously UK CEO, will now focus on strengthening and growing connections across offices in Europe and the Middle East through innovation in products and services. Coleman will also be responsible for creating closer collaboration and culture unification across We Are Social and sister agency Hello’s offices in the EMEA.

Throughout his time in the agency, as both UK Managing Director and UK CEO, Coleman has already developed connections with clients such as  Carlsberg Group, Activision, adidas and Amazon Music.

Coleman commented: “I’m excited to take on this new challenge and work even more closely with our brilliant teams across EMEA. It's a region with a lot of cultural nuances and differences, but what brings us all together is a passion for making the best possible work for our clients. 

Toby Southgate, Global Group CEO, added: “Jim was early to identify the future potential of We Are Social. He’s been a vital part of our journey from a startup in London, to our current global network spanning four continents. Without him the agency wouldn’t be what it is today.
