Background

About Mark Groves

From my first junior account position in the UK office of a Silicon Valley PR agency to in-house communications leadership roles, I’ve thrived by achieving great results in diverse global teams. I’ve had the opportunity to do impactful work for innovative companies and brands across a diverse range of industries, from luxury goods to healthcare, and enterprise software to consumer technology, including- Securing positive, on-message attention through corporate and trade media, social platforms, podcasts and speaking events - Leading internal and external communications during the transition of a global $1.5bn business to a new owner - Defending reputation, including implementing a major consumer product recall in over 80 countries worldwide - Producing major press conferences (+500 attendees) and launch events with celebrity endorsers - Advancing the communications function: team, agency and budget management I believe that a strong communicator has to combine the ‘yin’ of sound strategic understanding with the ‘yang’ of execution: only by taking an active role in implementation can you further develop your strategy and improve for the future.
