FCB Media has today confirmed the promotion of Philippa Mckenzie from Group Business Director to Head of Connections Planning.
Commenting on the appointment, FCB Media Managing Director, Blair Alexander, said,”With fragmentation across channels, platforms and even client in-house teams, ensuring we continue to put consumers at the centre of everything we do is key.

Mckenzie was recognised as the agency’s ‘Collaborator of the Year’ so that natural ability will also be key in helping take FCB’s integrated model to the next level. She will also continue to lead clients with support from her wider team.
Mckenzie is already transitioning to her new role and commented, “I’m delighted to continue my journey at FCB Media with this exciting new opportunity. I’m looking forward to working closely with our talented leadership team & global network to evolve FCB Media’s connections planning approach, championing creativity in media & creating seamless integration with our partners.”
