Appointment of Richard Costa-D'Sa
Be Heard Group Plc (AIM: BHRD), the digital marketing services
group, is pleased to announce that respected industry leader
Richard Costa-D'Sa has been appointed Chief Growth Officer with
immediate effect.
In this management board role, Richard will be focused on
driving growth from cross-group client projects, which the group
has already started to see from clients including Vodafone.
Richard previously held senior industry roles within the Engine
Group, most recently as Global CEO of Deep Focus, where he led the
agency through a time of high client growth, in which it won many
awards, including at the D&ADs, Cannes Lions and Fast Company.
Prior to this, he was Managing Director of Jam, to which role he
was promoted after working with well-known brands such as Samsung,
Renault, Xbox and Tesco. At both Deep Focus and Jam he was a member
of the group management team, in which capacity he worked to
develop cross-group initiatives, with a focus on digital.
As a well-respected figure in the sector, Richard has been
nominated three times into Campaign Magazine's A-list for the most
powerful people in advertising, twice into the Drum Digerati, the
Drum's list of the 100 most influential people in the UK's digital
marketing industries, and came fifth in the Drum's Social Buzz Top
50 most influential people in social media.
Prior to being confirmed Chief Growth Officer, Richard met the
founders of the four Be Heard Partners with whom he will be working
closely in order to establish cultural fit and share ideas for
growth.
Richard Costa-D'Sa said:
"There isn't a group like Be Heard right now. A digitally-born
group with scale and ambitions to do things differently, with no
legacy siloed structures getting in the way of producing effective
work. I am looking forward to using my experience to support Be
Heard in increasing the level of work it delivers involving two
Partners or more. Digital marketing is ever more complex and
interconnected, so I am eager to work with all of our current and
future Partners within Be Heard to connect their exceptional
abilities and devise and execute strategies and campaigns for
clients which deliver similarly exceptional results. The Group is
at an exciting stage in its development as it starts to show what
it can do for clients such as Vodafone and I am delighted to be
joining the team at this point in its journey."
Peter Scott, Executive Chairman of Be Heard said:
"Having worked with Richard before, and having since seen his
reputation as a top-flight leader of digital marketing businesses
deservedly grow, I can think of no one better to join us in this
role. His initial conversations with our Partners have created
great excitement and I have no doubt that he will be a real asset
for the Group."
