The new role will better position the agency for long term sustainable growth

RocketMill, the UK’s largest employee-owned agency, has announced the appointment of Johanna Goucher as marketing director. In her new role, Goucher will focus on driving growth for RocketMill through the development of its marketing strategy across brand building, lead generation, talent acquisition  and internal communications.

Goucher moves to RocketMill from her previous role in marketing at Merkle, where she supported the growth of its marketing function in EMEA following its acquisition of Periscopix in 2015,  DBG and Comet in 2016 and many more subsequently. During this time, she was responsible for their EMEA  partner marketing strategy in the region as well as running their flagship client events, receiving awards for Excellence at their annual Merkle Awards in 2019.

The new hire comes at a pivotal time for RocketMill, who announced their Employee-Owned status, in which employees directly benefit from their work via equity, profit share and tax free bonuses, earlier this year. The status allows the agency to go well beyond the freedom of an independent to invest deeply into the community through equity, impact, social and sustainability initiatives, fostering a deeper sense of purpose.

“I'm very excited about the opportunity to further expand and grow RocketMill’s brand, initially focusing on the UK,” said Goucher. “RocketMill’s Total Performance proposition coupled with their People First approach means that both the wellbeing of our team and performance for our clients can be prioritised - I’m looking forward to sharing the outcomes of this important combination to the market.”  

Tom Byrne, chief executive officer at RocketMill commented: “We have a commitment to give career and growth opportunities for our team; that inevitably translates to a strong growth ambition for the agency. The appointment of a Marketing Director is an important component of our strategy, ensuring that everyone across the market is clear on the RocketMill identity, what we stand for and against. Currently our People First proposition is front and centre of our brand and placing more of the industry’s best talents within it to maintain and improve on the quality of work we are delivering for clients is key to our growth.  I am really excited to see how far we can take this approach to have an impact both beyond our team and client communities to the industry and planet as a whole.”
