Leachman brings more than 20 years of experience across creative and digital agencies. Most recently he served as Head of Business Development at Great State, where he led growth strategy and new business.
Prior to this, he spent 12 years at Impero, joining when the agency was just two people and helping grow it into a 55-strong creative business. During his time there he held several senior leadership roles including New Business & Marketing Director, Client Partner and Head of Client Services.
He has worked with global brands including BBC, Lindt & Sprüngli, Pernod Ricard, Danone, General Mills to name a few.
Jungle Creations’ decision to appoint Leachman comes as the agency continues to scale its operations and strengthen its position in the social and influencer marketing landscape.
Commenting on the appointment, Raad said: “Coris has an exceptional track record of driving growth and helping agencies scale. He understands how to build meaningful client partnerships while developing strong commercial momentum.
“His experience across creative and digital agencies will be hugely valuable as we continue to grow Jungle’s client base and expand our offering. We’re thrilled to have him joining the team.”
Leachman added: “Jungle’s setup is hugely impressive. Being an agency that was born from being a publisher first is a huge USP that the agency has over its competition.
“Social is in their DNA because they’ve done it to great success with their own media brands, and as a result they’ve built an incredibly strong reputation for creating social-first work that genuinely connects with audiences.
“There’s a massive opportunity to build on that momentum and help even more brands unlock growth through social and influencer marketing.
“I can’t wait to get stuck in and I’m looking forward to working closely with Jade and the wider team to drive the agency’s next phase of expansion.”
