MSL UK announced today the appointment of Jo Grierson as its new UK managing director. Grierson reports to MSL Group UK CEO, Chris McCafferty, who joined the Publicis Groupe in late 2019.

Grierson joins from Talker Tailor Trouble Maker where she was a partner. Prior to Talker Tailor, she spent six years as partner and deputy MD at Freuds, where she ran the global Lexus, Toyota and McCain accounts. Before Freuds, she was a board director at Havas, also for six years. 

Grierson will work across the business to help accelerate growth in the agency and work closely with Publicis Groupe agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Publicis.Poke and Publicis Sapient, delivering integrated, multichannel work.  

McCafferty said, “I first offered Jo a job back in 2012. Eight years later, and we finally get to work together, growing the MSL business both as a standalone specialist and an integrated part of the Publicis Groupe. Bring it on.” 

Grierson replied, “Hope you’re ready.”
