Saatchi & Saatchi UK Appoints Claire Hollands As Its Chief

Claire Hollands is set to take the helm at Saatchi & Saatchi UK as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), transitioning from her role as CEO at MullenLowe. She will now directly report to Charlie Rudd, CEO of Publicis Groupe UK’s creative practice.

Claire Hollands has over two decades of experience in the advertising industry, having joined MullenLowe in 2021. Before MullenLowe, she spent 13 years with AMV BBDO, then she rose to the post of chief client officer. Her career in advertising began with an internship at Publicis and was followed by account management roles at agencies like Leo Burnett. She is a dedicated trustee for Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity.

Hollands’ appointment marks the second major leadership move by Saatchi & Saatchi this year. Ruth Bates took on the role of Chief Data Officer earlier in the summer.
