Lexington welcomed Emily Somers, Chief Marketing Officer and co-host of the Brand Leaders podcast, for a Q&A session with our Head of Growth, Hannah Baxter. Emily shared insights from her diverse career, from her early days at the BBC to senior leadership roles at McDonald’s, Deliveroo, and leading global agencies including Leo Burnett and Havas.

Emily spoke about the importance of commercialisation and growth, the role of purpose-driven work, and the chemistry needed between agency and client. She also reflected on how her experience on the client side shaped her ability to anticipate challenges and think several steps ahead when moving into agency leadership.
