Rise at Seven has appointed the former Chief Operating Officer at Ingenuity as its new Chief Commercial Officer.
Karl Loudon will be tasked with growing the agency, developing new products and services and expanding into new markets.
The former Managing Partner of IPG’s Reprise Digital will oversee all marketing, client services and growth functions across its offices in the UK, EU and US.
“I’m thrilled to be joining Rise at Seven, I’ve been a fan of Carrie and the agency since its inception,” he stated.
“My personal mission is to destigmatise sales in the creative world and build a more inclusive future for commercial teams. We’re doing genuinely innovative work in a crowded and undifferentiated market and I’m fiercely proud of what our teams do and honoured to be part of the journey.”
Loudon joins the Rise at Seven board, alongside Nick Hussey and Carrie Rose following the recent MBO.
“With ambitious plans comes incredible opportunities and having the opportunity to have Karl join us as a team is one I couldn’t refuse,” said Carrie Rose, Cl Rise at Seven.
“Karl’s extensive experience of working with similar enterprising agencies, commercial acumen and innovative approach to tech and creativity is just what this agency needed as we go through our scale up journey.
“I was looking for a commercial leader who can help navigate me and my team through our next growth phase and Karl was the perfect guy for the job”.
