OUR PEOPLE

Jo Blake
Investment Director
Jo’s investment experience is second to none after stints at Zenith, Carat and Havas including running an OOH specialist agency which won 11 awards for innovation – if there is a deal to be had she will find it for our clients. Previous experience also includes singing telegrams – what more could you ask for!

Andy Brander
Planning Director
Andy's planning career has taken him from media independent to the UK's largest network and from integrated creative agency to co-founding a start up. Out of work he spends any spare time not chasing around after his kids with his head buried in weekend newspaper sections!

Marie Comarmond
Digital Planning Director
Marie gained experience over the last 10+ years in digital marketing in Mauritius, Paris, and Dubai, where she worked on brands like Richemont, Adidas and Huawei. She has now decided to settle in London. When not at work she is a musical lover, an avid F1 fan and a Lego collector.

Craig Gallacher
Business Director
Craig joined M.i. Media as our fresh-faced account executive and today is one of our Account Directors, though perhaps slightly less fresh-faced! Craig is a passionate supporter of the England football team and once wrote and recorded (at a real life recording studio) a World Cup song which can be found in the darkest depths of YouTube.

Kelly Kershaw
Business Director
Kelly started working in media 16 years ago (alongside some familiar M.i. faces!) and has worked across a diverse range of clients from Retail Banking to Home Entertainment to Charity and Travel! Outside of work, Kelly can be found scampering around the trails in the Chilterns, and cooking up a storm as a reward afterwards!

Simon King
Business Director
Simon, aka ‘Kingy’ joined M.i in October 2021 after stints at MediaCom, Kite Factory and Zenith. He has over 12 years experience working with brands and clients of all shapes and sizes. He also specialises in helping Charities drive cost-efficient growth through omni-channel campaigns. Out of work, you’ll find Simon trying to play football, watching/moaning about his beloved Spurs, or playing ‘Super-Dad’ to his three young kids.

Sophie O'Brien
Business Director
A self-proclaimed data geek with a degree in Maths, the more difficult the challenge the better for Sophie, or SOB as we affectionately know her. She’s been spreading her love for maths for over 10 years across a range of clients, industries and roles – more recently in schools where she volunteers as a tutor. Her talents don’t stop at numbers, she can also do the cups song from Pitch Perfect!

Sophie Wright
Account Director
Sophie joined as an office manager in 2016 but quickly chose her own role in planning and buying instead! She has serious charity experience having worked across SPANA, BookTrust, Battersea Cats and Dogs Home, Action on Hearing Loss, Macular Society and Starlight. In her spare time you’ll either find her curled up with her cats watching a Netflix documentary or at the top of a climbing wall.

Tudor Bercu
Biddable Account Manager
After studying Business & Management at the University of Glasgow, Tudor has gained digital media experience across a wide range of clients such as Selfridges, Accor and CrossCountry Trains. Outside of work, Tudor is an avid tennis player (formerly professional!) and fan, so he always keep his eyes on the ball!

Rachel Richards
Senior Digital Account Executive
Joining us in the middle of a pandemic, Rachel’s degree in Mathematics with Climate and Ocean Studies sparked her love for numbers and data and led her to pursue a career in the digital marketing world. She originally hails from South Wales, can fluently speak the language and won’t hear a bad word about the rugby.

Femi Allen-Taylor
Digital Account Executive
Following a master’s degree in Business Analytics, Femi has decided to continue his passion for data in a role at M.i. Outside of work he enjoys playing football and is a fervent Arsenal supporter.

After completing her Master’s degree in Business and Management, Alexa decided to pursue a career in digital marketing and joined M.i. Media in 2021. Travelling is her passion and in the last few years she has visited over 20 countries. Outside of work you will probably find Alexa planning her next trip.

Toni James
Finance Manager
Toni has been working in media for over 30 years. After taking a break from the industry, Toni was tempted back into the world of media as Finance Manager to cover maternity leave – that was 5 years ago! When not at work, she's most likely to be found in an art gallery or museum or anywhere else she can get her culture fix!
