About

Rebecca is an incredibly curious and creatively driven Senior Planner.

Currently working at Wunderman Thompson UK, a global marketing communications agency focused on delivering growth for some of the world’s most innovative brands, empathy is Rebecca’s superpower. She believes in harnessing its positive effects and applying it throughout all facets of her work, both client and internal projects.

Rebecca works across brands including IKEA, KitKat and HSBC, where she provides invaluable lateral thinking mixed with a deep understanding of the human brain and how people behave. This expertise can be seen across her work where she looks to reduce cognitive load or influence people in ways that benefit them. Resulting in award-winning, effective strategy that’s full of both humanity and emotion.

Passionate about equality, Rebecca co-founded and leads Wunderman Thompson’s RISE women’s network supporting over 300 women whilst also taking pride of place on its dedicated inclusion board. Through her work she’s introduced ‘4 walls’ sessions that provide a safe space for transparent conversations around topics like the menopause and burnout. But that’s not it, she’s hosted RISE and Wine nights for networking, launched a pro-bono campaign raising £25,000 for Hestia and, most recently, launched Magpie, an industry first peer-to-peer mentoring app for Wunderman Thompson’s female talent.

Rebecca’s a unique and powerful combination of ambition and care. Holding the key to the future of the specialism, where empathy collides with drive to make work that’s both more effective and more human.
