Brain was most recently a director of the group supervisory board of Edelman, the world’s largest PR firm, and a member of its global management board. During thirteen years at Edelman, he was CEO of the Europe Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region and latterly, CEO of Asia Pacific Middle East & Africa (APACMEA). Both regions achieved significant revenue growth during his tenures, won multiple industry awards and became recognised as regional leaders. Brain was a leading figure in the modernisation of Edelman’s services beyond traditional public relations and is a thought- leader on communications in the social media era.

Prior to Edelman, Brain was co-CEO of Weber-Shandwick UK and managing director at Burson- Marsteller UK. He has also worked in corporate affairs at Visa International and as a planner in advertising.

Brain is currently an advisory board member of The Spinoff, New Zealand’s most successful on-line news magazine and an investor and advisory board member of Parkable, a New Zealand based new economy business.

Says John Porter, chairman, Enero Group: “We are very pleased to welcome David as a non-executive director. David has deep industry knowledge of public relations and integrated communications which are a key pillar of our Group. David’s network and thought leadership will be invaluable to all our businesses.”

Says Brain: “I am delighted to be joining as a director of Enero which is at a very exciting time in its development and at a time where integrated communications businesses are being given more opportunities to expand their services to clients. I look forward to working with John, Matthew and the Board to further enhance the capabilities of the group.”
