Pippa has previously worked for Starcom and Amplifi UK

Independent media agency Electric Glue has signalled its intent to take the agency to the next level with the appointment of leading media executive Pippa Glucklich as CEO and partner. 

In her 25+ year career she has held senior roles at Starcom, Initiative and was part of the senior leadership team at independent media agency, BLM, which sold to Havas in 2008. Pippa stepped down as CEO of Amplifi UK, the investment and content platform of Dentsu, in December 2019. 

Electric Glue was founded in 2014 by Kevin Brown, Nick Kendall (both ex-BBH) and Simon  Orpin (formerly ITV’s Planning Director). It has a distinctive positioning – working to the philosophy of ‘sacrifice’, encouraging clients to do ‘fewer but bigger and better things’ and  by collaborating with creative agencies and media owners to create brand partnerships with power and scale. 

Kevin and Simon said: “We’re delighted that Pippa will be joining us as CEO and partner to take our unique offer from strength to strength. She is a terrific leader who represents the best industry values.” 

Highly-regarded Pippa is a past president of female leadership club WACL and has taken on several consultancy roles since leaving Dentsu, including joining the board of Mind UK and non-executive chair at freelance talent business, Liberty Hive. She is also a longstanding trustee of industry charity NABS.

Her move to Electric Glue, effective from June 2021, marks her full-time return to the agency sector. She said: “Electric Glue’s differentiated model offers exceptional service, partnership and breakthrough media thinking for ambitious clients of all shapes and sizes. I‘m honoured to be joining such a high calibre team and can’t wait to get cracking.”  

Electric Glue is chaired by legendary creative and BBH founder Sir John Hegarty, who said: “Electric Glue has consistently proved that size is no guarantee of strength when it comes to media thinking. I’m convinced that its independent status and agile model keys into how CMOs are changing their thinking around their needs as a result of the pandemic. I’m delighted that Pippa is joining us for our next chapter.”
