During his time at M&C Saatchi, Whittle has played a critical role in establishing the agency’s digital offering, setting-up the agency’s digital, direct and data agency Mark as well as its digital production business Make.

Both Mark and Make quickly established themselves as fully autonomous businesses within the M&C Saatchi Group, each run by their own leadership teams. Today more than 70 full time staff are employed across the two businesses.

In his current role as managing director Whittle has spent the past two and a half years leading the day-to-day operations of the agency

Says Jaimes Leggett, M&C Saatchi CEO: “David has made a major contribution to this agency and we’ll miss him. We wish him all the best in his next endeavor.”
