She was made chair of the agency in 2016, became WPP country manager in 2018, and added the GroupM UK CEO title in 2020.īlackett said: “I took on the GroupM role in the first week of lockdown in 2020, with a focus on guiding the business through the pandemic and beginning the transformation of GroupM in the UK. A replacement for Blackett’s role as UK CEO of GroupM will be announced soon, but the UK country manager role will no longer exist.īlackett started her career at CIA MediaNetwork in the early 90s, and her WPP career began when the group bought MediaCom (where she was marketing director) in 2004. Her promotion follows the recent appointment of Rose Herceg and Michael Houston to president roles in Australia & New Zealand and the US respectively. She has been promoted regularly since she started work at WPP in 2004 and her next stop is surely global. Karen Blackett is the first person to be made president of WPP in the UK, continuing her steady rise at the group where she’s worked for nearly 20 years.īlackett is a big talent and a huge asset to WPP thanks to her standing in the UK business community, her MBE, her client skills and her stance on diversity. ![]()
