Starting his new role in April, Braithwaite will lead the day-to-day running of the agency and deputise for Ludzker, who is currently on maternity leave.

Joining BBDO as regional account director in 2008, Braithwaite was later promoted to client services director, then general manager in 2015. He has previously worked at Iris London and Iris Singapore.
