With over 20 years of experience, Chaudhry previously served as head of strategy at Design Bridge and Partners and has held senior roles within WPP across consulting, advertising, and market research.

It is a fast-growing group, structurally built for collaboration with an exciting array of specialisms such as branding, generative design, content creation, analytics and insights coming together seamlessly," said Chaudhry.

"Strategy has a key role to play in harmonising these capabilities to create tangible impact on businesses. I look forward to pushing the boundaries of this joined-up thinking and be a part of the work that elevates our clients’ brands,” he added.
