In 2006, he successfully built an award-winning integrated digital offering of over 40 people as Managing Partner of sister agency Vizeum.
In 2008, Ben took on the role as Managing Director of TradeDoubler (then Europe’s leading Performance Marketing business) across the UK and Ireland, where he managed revenues of over £100m and led a team of over 100 staff.
In the spring of 2009, Ben rejoined Aegis as MD of its digital performance media business, iProspect. The agency doubled in size both in terms of revenue and profitability in 2010 and has continued to be highly successful with organic revenue growth of over 60% in 2012.
