Within this simple, yet powerful principle, I felt a real affinity for creating a future for the agency which finds the beautiful collision between marketing science and marketing art. Our primary job as an agency is to grow the businesses of our clients through effective brand strategy and I’m thrilled to embark on this journey with my 180 Kingsday colleagues and clients.”

Her experience, both client and agency side, means she understands all aspects of modern strategy and how global brands need foresight, not just insight, if they are to grow at the pace their leaders demand. With Tiina at the helm of our 180 thinking, I’m anticipating incredible, transformative work for our clients that makes them more famous, more human and more seamless in people’s lives.”
