Phil Bourne
Chief Executive
“There are many different parts to my job, but the bit I enjoy most is trying to crack the brief.”
Phil is the CEO of Arnold KLP, a London based agency providing integrated advertising solutions to some of the world’s most exciting and influential brands.
He was formally the Chief Executive of Euro RSCG KLP. Phil joined the agency in the mid 90s as an Account Director and rose through the company to MD before becoming the CEO in 2001.
His time at the helm saw one of the most successful periods in the agency’s history. KLP was twice named Agency of the Year: by the MCCA in 2002 and again by the ISP in 2010. It was also the highest ranked promotional marketing agency over a five year period from 2000 to 2005 based on Marketing Week’s Annual Reputation Surveys.
Prior to joining KLP Phil worked at design and brand consultancy BGA where he led accounts including BMW and BT.
Phil has worked with many blue chip brands in his 20 years in the industry. He cites his account-leading experiences as being the most informative aspects of his career, including; BMW, ‘one of the most educational’, The Guardian, ‘one of the most fascinating’ and Pepsi, where he managed a two year programme across Latin America, as ‘definitely the most fun!’
In 2010 Phil became the CEO of Arnold KLP; a challenge that he considers the most exciting of his career.
Phil lives with his wife and two young children in Buckinghamshire.
