Reporting to Hamid Habib, Starcom’s UK Managing Director, Peacocke will be a key member of the leadership team, where she will be responsible for delivering best-in-class products for the agency, leading senior relationships with top-tier clients and driving overall business growth for clients.

Peacocke’s digital background and breadth of experience will bring a fresh approach to client leadership. She is well versed in helping businesses adapt to the changing industry landscape and identifying the best opportunities for client growth.

Peacocke re-joins Starcom after seven years at MediaCom, where she oversaw a range of major client relationships, including Direct Line Group, NOW TV, Bayer, EON and Scope.
