Graham Monk – With over 20 years experience in advertising and most recently the MD of a Top 30 Direct Marketing company with a seat on the Operations Board of the parent PLC., Graham has worked above and below the line with some of the largest brands in the world. These include Mercedes-Benz, P&G, Budweiser, Nike and Shell. As well as being one of only a handful of ‘suits’ to have won a commendation at D&AD (the Oscars of the advertising world…) he combines creativity with a business and strategic brain that enabled him to turn one-off projects for Nike and Mercedes into seven figure revenue streams. However, initiating the approach and leading the team that won the EDF Energy launch in the UK (and what was in that year the single largest new business win at £30m) is still the achievement that he is most proud of.
When he isn’t working he spends his time, trying to keep fit and playing guitar…neither of which he does as well as he would like to.
