Slough back at Ogilvy for BA job

Former OgilvyOne chief Chris Slough is returning to the WPP agency where he had previously spent 17 years, following a two-year break working at Proximity London and Iris Worldwide.
Slough originally joined Ogilvy back in 1994, two years after graduating from the University of Stirling. He worked his way up the ranks and was both joint client services director and managing partner before being promoted to deputy managing director in 2008; a role he held for over three years.
He left in mid-201 to take up the same role at Proximity London, where he was promoted to managing director six months later. Slough left Proximity in February 2013 to become chief client officer of Europe at Iris Worldwide.
On his return to OgilvyOne, he will be global brand management lead on the British Airways account. Slough will report to OgilvyOne UK managing director Jo Coombs, and worldwide executive vice-president of global brands, Nelly Andersen.
Coombs said: “Chris’ experience on British Telecom, Bupa and most recently, Proximity, make him one of the leading digital CRM marketers in the industry and a perfect fit to lead the BA global business. On a personal level, I’m looking forward to having my partner in crime back.”
