MEC, a leading media agency, has promoted Kathryn Saxon to the newly created role of head of research, David Fletcher, MEC’s Chief Data Officer announced today.
The appointment reflects the increasing need from clients for insights that help make direct strategies relevant for a world of ever increasing complexity.
