I am confident that under Baillie’s leadership we will do so brilliantly," Heap said. “Working closely with MediaCom over the past three years, I greatly admired their dynamic culture and focus on excellence and innovation for clients. I am delighted to now join the team and contribute to the continued drive for growth," Baillie said. She is also the recent hire in a series of key C-level appointments for the agency in the last three months including those of Paul Waller, chief investment officer and Josh Gallagher, chief product officer.
