Claire Hollands, Chief Client Officer – AMV BBDO

Claire is currently Chief Client Officer at AMV BBDO. The role centres on driving client service, satisfaction and advocacy across the Agency.

During her time at AMV she has been part of the leadership team across a wide range of domestic and global clients including BT, Bacardi, Aviva, SCA & Birdseye.

One of her biggest passions in the industry is talent management hence leading the Account Management Department (with an FTE of 120+) for several years. This role focused on culture, resourcing, recruitment, training & performance management and as such was integral to the day to day running of the Agency.

Building on talent outside of AMV, Claire has also been part of the Marketing Academy Alumni. Her leadership team ran a series of events from lunch and learns to dinners with figureheads from the industry. They also launched a nationwide mentoring scheme, which remains an active community today.

Outside of work Claire is married to Paul, with a daughter called Lottie and a ginger cat called Oscar.
