Harbour Appoints Marie-Louise Robinson as First Client Partner

Harbour has appointed Marie-Louise (ML) Robinson as its first client partner, as the agency gears up for ‘the next chapter’ of its growth.

Off the back of a string of new client projects, ML joins the three other partners – Paul Hammersley, Mick Mahoney and Kevin Chesters – to lead on day-to-day client facing business.

ML started her career at BBH in a variety of account handling roles, before becoming head of brand at Boden and most recently, client partner at Ogilvy running the BP business.

Creative partner at Harbour, Mick Mahoney, said: “Kev and I have known ML forever. When we were looking for our first client partner for Harbour, we had a shortlist and it had one name on it.”

ML said: “I don’t think I’ve ever said yes to anything quicker in my career. Harbour is exactly the right model for clients these days, and I’m already incredibly busy and looking forward to being busier.”

Harbour has won projects for John Lewis Finance, Thortful.com, The Gym Group & McCarthy & Stone in recent months and expanded their collective of agencies with the addition of Curious, Unit 9 and Soundtree in 2020.
