A familiar figure to many within MediaCom, Baillie (pictured) began her journey with GroupM in 2015 as Managing Director of Xaxis & [m]Platform and has since risen to become an established member within the group.

In the past 3 years, we’ve had a great run of new business wins and it’s important we maintain and try to build on this momentum even further. I am confident that under Regan’s leadership we will do so brilliantly.”

Baillie added, “Working closely with MediaCom over the past three years, I greatly admired their dynamic culture and focus on excellence and innovation for clients. I am delighted to now join the team and contribute to the continued drive for growth.”
