As Group Managing Director of Havas Worldwide before joining Ignite, Ursula delivered excellent revenue growth through successful integration, resulting in a number of prestigious client wins.

Ursula hopes to build an agency that delivers on business objectives for every brand in the Ignite stable, through creative excellence that Ignites Growth. "I believe that Ignition Thinking is the job of everyone in the agency. It starts with Account Management understanding where and how to add value so that strategy and creative are equipped with the best possible insights to deliver the most innovative and effective campaigns possible," says Ursula. "Our recent business wins, including SAB, are testament to how a focused and passionate team will deliver creative solutions that drive business growth." These recent wins, all within the last three months, will increase the agency's revenue by 37 percent.
