Mike was fundamental to the success of MullenLowe’s social capabilities. He not only set the overall strategy for the company and clients but was able to work across all work streams from planning to production. He was also an inspiration when it came to the application of technology and AI, willing to get his hands dirty, create prototypes and POCs to then take both internally and to senior stakeholders for consideration and future application.

Throughout his tenure, Mike consistently demonstrated an exceptional ability to develop and execute innovative content strategies. These strategies significantly elevated our clients’ brand presence, engagement, and business outcomes across social media platforms.

Mike consistently impresses clients with his knowledge and builds strong relationships through the delivery of outstanding work.

He introduced several new initiatives to the agency, including social media training and amplification sessions, ensuring our campaigns were digital and social-first.

In addition to his professional skills, Mike is a superb team player and leader, highly respected by his colleagues for his approachable manner, effective communication, and commitment to developing talent within the team.

Mike is one of the most compassionate, forward-thinking, creative and innovative people I’ve worked with. His ideas, his execution, his sense of humour, and his open-mindedness were such an asset when we worked together - he’s so hardworking, genuinely brilliant, and brilliantly genuine. You can rely on him to pull an idea, a team, a brief together and forward into something that defines ‘under-promise and over-deliver.’ I really hope to work with him again, and honestly I’ll be jealous if you have that privilege!

I had the pleasure of working closely with Mike at MullenLowe and I can confidently say that he is a great blend of strategic insight and creativity. His ability to craft and execute innovative social media strategy and deliver to clients is impressive. I was also impressed at Mike’s ability to talk to C-suite level clients and present to big groups either on stage or in workshops; about the power of social media whether they are already running cutting edge social campaigns or completely new to social content, whether agency or client side Mike would be an asset to any organisation and I hope we get to work together again.

Mike has that secret sauce we need more of these days; genuine passion combined with care for the craft. He is a great addition to any project.

Mike can read teams, both internally and externally, instantly, and knows exactly how to get the best from any situation.

He is unrelenting in the pursuit of knowledge, always pushing himself and the teams he works in to get further under the skin of the brand, the platform and the problem.

He is also incredibly fun to work with to boot!

Michael is a great content strategist who really helped shape & lead the thinking of the international content strategy for Amex. Very well versed in the social and content space and understands the value it can bring to organisations. Michael really cares about his clients, builds great relationships and has a strong grasp and understanding of business goals and the role of which content can support this. Michael would be an asset to any agency or client.

I worked with Mike for the ten years I’ve been at McCann and for the last 3 years we’ve worked very closely together.

Mike brings a perfect package of strategy and detail together. He is creative and practical, reliable and self-motivated. His extensive, valuable experience enables him to clearly articulate a digital strategy and vision as well as provide the detail needed to make it happen. He is therefore able to operate at many levels to deliver what needs to be done.

I’d highly recommend Mike.

Mike embodies the most amazing qualities. Mike is a pleasure to work with, extremely knowledgeable, innately curious, creative, empathetic, and a wonderful problem solver. Mike has been core to building out our global social offering. He was a critical member of the team that not only developed the global toolkit, which provided products, processes, tech solutions and hiring guidelines, but also helped to pilot the program and roll it out in the UK and Europe in a multitude of markets. He partnered with both internal teams and helped sell in the offering and integrate it into clients’ day-to-day marketing activities. He has also brought his immense expertise to bear and helped us evolve the next version of the offering with a focus on our data-driven approach. Mike interfaced with our key partners from the likes of Facebook, Google, TikTok and Snapchat. In addition, Mike brought endless amounts of thought leadership to our teams through inspiration sessions and our client events at Mobile World Congress. He also integrated design-thinking based hacks into our creative process and spearheaded an experiment to bring cross-functional teams together to solve client’s problems as a door-opener for growth. Mike was also a critical member of our Global Digital Leadership Community that helped set strategy and prototyped new ways of working that got embedded into the organization. Mike is a wonderful person who brings charisma and charm, rooted in his experience in the performing arts, to everything he does and is thoughtful, kind and one of my favorite people to interact with. I feel any company would benefit from Mike’s immense contribution.

If you want someone who knows social, and can do everything from operationalise it across a business to best-practice check the details of a channel-specific post, to one-man concept a micro-campaign, Mike is your man. He’s a unique combo of thinker, creator and doer. And he’s lovely to work with too.

Mike and I worked together on several international projects where I got to know him as a strategically extremely versatile and digital forward-thinking person. He is equipped with a strong sense for perception that makes him understand technically complex topics fast, making teams and their output better. Besides, I got to know Mike as a very calm, positive and reflected character which made our collaboration even more pleasant.

During this time he continually impressed me with his intelligence, marketing-savvy, and ability to understand and deftly navigate complex client-side environments and briefs to consistently deliver exceptional work. Working alongside Mike, I always felt like something special was possible - he combines a talent for strategy with creative flair and a real drive for excellence that inspires those around him.

Mike is one of the most capable and positive people I’ve had the pleasure to work with. We’ve worked together for the last 5 years and that gave me an extensive chance to see what a great leader he can be - a people-oriented person with a strong vision matched by the relationship skills needed to implement it. From his position of regional strategy & social media leader he managed to build, animate and grow a large community of local leaders in several European markets. I also had the chance to see him handling diverse business scenarios - working under pressure and in crisis situations, coming up with effective ideas that always combined analytical thinking that led to issue-spotting and creative problem-solving. These often happened in agile setups such as workshops and sprints which he can design and conduct effectively towards a sharp outcome. Last but not least he’s interested in and always up to speed with everything moving in the tech world. He’s tirelessly trying to infuse tech innovations and optimizations into all the moving parts of an agency ecosystem and output.

I sincerely admire Mike for his mix of capabilities, experience and positivity and I honestly think that’s not an easy thing to come across.
