by on 22nd Feb 2021 in News
Industry veteran, Andy Stevens, has joined fast-growing social display leader, Picnic, as advisory board member. Stevens joins to help Picnic as they continue their rapid expansion, delivering intuitively-engaging social display ad formats on a unique marketplace of user-first mobile inventory.
Stevens has made a lasting imprint on the media, marketing and technology landscape. As an early advocate for impactful and measurable digital marketing, he founded Unique Digital in 2001. Later, after Stevens combined Unique with SYZYGY to form a leading EMEA agency, he launched and grew a successful US division. Since the merger and expansion, the market cap of the combined companies tripled, and the number of employees soared to over 700 people.
With 30 years of proven experience balancing profitability and growth, Stevens now uses his commercial mindset, operational skills and entrepreneurial drive to advise and scale up companies, like Picnic, through The Fulcrum Initiative.

I aim to help guide, encourage and support the business to achieve its goals... hoping I can inspire them along the way as much as they have already inspired me."
