Moray MacLennan, CEO, M&C Saatchi Worldwide, said of Goodman’s promotion: “LIDA
continues to be a hugely important part of our Group offering, and we’re delighted to have
someone of Jonathan’s calibre at the helm. He understands the core ingredients needed to
grow a successful agency, as we’ve seen with his successful launch of the New York office.
I’m looking forward to seeing the next chapter of LIDA’s development.”
Jonathan Goodman, new CEO, LIDA, added: “LIDA has an infectious desire to win and push
for the very best work. Having successfully taken this approach to the US, I am thrilled to
bring my learnings back to the UK. LIDA runs through my veins, and I can’t wait to get stuck
in to the challenge of redefining and reinvigorating the agency for the future.”
