M&C Saatchi Onboards Simon Fuller as Chief Financial Officer
M&C Saatchi announces that Simon Fuller will become a member of the board and the company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) on July 1, 2024, as part of a managed succession process. Chief Financial Officer Bruce Marson will become Deputy Chief Financial Officer upon stepping down from the Board on June 30, 2024.
Simon Fuller appointed as CFO at M&C Saatchi
Having held multiple executive and senior management positions in a variety of UK-listed companies, Simon has extensive experience as a CFO.

Fuller joins M&C Saatchi with a wealth of experience, having held CFO positions at Reach Plc and McColl’s Retail Group in the past. Additionally, he has held senior financial positions at COLT Telecom Plc, BT Group, and Tesco Plc.
The advertising industry is facing reduced marketing budgets from tech clients and slower new business growth as a result of cautious customer spending in an unpredictable economic environment. Fuller’s appointment comes at a difficult time for the industry. The Board expresses gratitude to Bruce Marson for his pivotal contribution to the metamorphosis of M&C Saatchi since his October 2021 hire and his promotion to CFO in March 2023.
