FleishmanHillard today announced the appointment of Marshall Manson as Chief Executive Officer of FleishmanHillard UK. Manson will assume the role effective immediately, overseeing the agency’s strategic direction, client service, growth, innovation and talent development across its UK operations.
An accomplished communications leader with deep expertise in corporate affairs, campaigning, and digital engagement, Manson most recently served as Chair of Corporate Affairs, Digital & Insight at FleishmanHillard UK. In that role, he guided multidisciplinary teams and global client relationships, championing integration and innovation across the agency’s most complex mandates.
“Marshall is a strategic force with a calm, incisive approach to leadership,” said J.J. Carter, President and CEO of FleishmanHillard. “Our clients are increasingly looking to us for our corporate advisory expertise in the face of navigating a complex, multi-stakeholder environment. Given his depth of experience as a seasoned advisor, Marshall is the perfect fit to lead our UK business into the future.”
Manson brings nearly three decades of experience advising C-suites and boards at the intersection of strategy, reputation, and technology. He has held senior leadership roles at Brunswick Group, Ogilvy Public Relations, and Edelman, both in the UK and the US. In 2015, he was named to PRovoke Media’s Innovator 25 list, which recognizes leaders redefining influence and engagement in communications.
“FleishmanHillard is well positioned to push boldly into a new communications landscape,” Manson said. “Leveraging data and AI, our team of first-rate advisors is helping clients navigate uncertainty and deliver communications and marketing with real impact.”
He added: “My whole career has been about applying the latest innovations in practical ways that help businesses and brands solve thorny problems and seize emerging opportunities. I’m excited to deliver that combination of innovation and impact in the months and years to come.”
Manson replaces Hugh Taggart, who will be leaving FleishmanHillard for a new opportunity.
