It’s no longer a side note in marketing but increasingly a core driver of growth for brands that understand the value of authentic connection.Joining Billion Dollar Boy at this pivotal moment, when creativity and data, culture and commerce are converging, feels incredibly exciting. I look forward to working with our brand partners to help them navigate this rapidly evolving space with honesty, expertise and a commitment to effectiveness; And to working with the entire team to further nurture the creativity, passion and innovation that is already so present at BDB and which has such a demonstrable impact for our clients.”

She leads with empathy and energy, qualities that reflect how we want to lead as an agency. Charlie’s arrival strengthens our commitment to building the most effective social-first agency in the world.
