Richard Campbell

Co-Chief Executive Officer at Kekst CNC

London, England, United Kingdom

About

I have worked in strategic communications for more than twenty years, implementing successful campaigns and executing transactions for a range of well-known international companies and organisations. Client experience is broad and has included working with many of the world’s largest companies, across a number of sectors including financial services, energy, TMT, industrials and leisure / consumer industries. Following a successful career with some of the best known communications agencies, I co-founded Capital MSL in 2001 and have overseen the firm's growth and subsequent sale to MSLGROUP / Publicis Groupe. In January 2015, Capital MSL completed a merger with CNC - Communications & Network Consulting and re-branded as CNC, when I became Managing Partner. In October 2018, CNC combined with New York headquartered firm Kekst, to create Kekst CNC.
