Iris Promotes Elisha Pearce to Managing Director, Growth and Marketing

Iris Worldwide, the global creative network, has today announced the promotion of Elisha Pearce to the role of managing director, growth and marketing, UK & EMEA and the appointment of Amy Green to the position of growth director, UK & EMEA as it seeks to drive further growth in the region.

Pearce, who started her career at Iris in 2007, is being promoted from her current position of managing director in the UK to take on a leadership role that will see her drive the growth of the network in the UK and Europe. Having successfully driven new business from existing clients including Pizza Hut, Delta, McCoy’s KP Snacks and Jack Daniel’s, she is now tasked with spearheading growth from new clients in key offices UK and Munich.

Green joins from content marketing agency PinPoint Media, where she spent three-and-a-half years and was most recently marketing and sales director. In her new role at Iris, she will play a pivotal role in helping the UK agency to deliver on its ambitious growth targets, working closely with the board and the marketing team to boost the pipeline, nurture leads and convert new business.

Pearce will report to Claire Humphris, CEO, Iris, while Green will report to Pearce.

Claire Humphris, CEO, Iris, said: “I’m thrilled to have not one, but two exceptional female leaders join the growth team in London. 

“Having worked with Elisha for over 17 years, I’m delighted to see her bring her tenacity, inherent understanding of client needs and leadership to our new business efforts. I couldn’t think of a safer pair of hands for the team.

“Amy’s experience makes her a great fit for us here at Iris – as The Participation Agency, and the original pioneer of integration. She embodies the natural ‘hustle’ and challenger mentality we had when setting up the agency 25 years ago.”

Elisha Pearce, new managing director, growth and marketing, Iris, added, “I’m over the moon to be leading the growth team out of London and working with colleagues in Europe. I’ve always loved the thrill of new business, and moving into my Managing Director role last year, I was keen to be more involved in the agency’s growth. Getting involved in developing the Iris brand into its 25th year is an opportunity I couldn’t turn down.”

Amy Green, new growth director, Iris, concluded, “I’m excited to be working with such an experienced team of marketing professionals. Together, we will bridge the gap between clients and their audiences. Iris has an amazing reputation for collaborating with some of the world’s biggest brands, and I can’t wait to drive incremental growth."
