Phillips, an IDM Honorary Life Fellow, started in marketing on the client side, moving to Rapp Collins, eventually becoming Proximity's CEO in late 2006.
During Phillips' time at Proximity the agency won the 2007 MCCA agency of the year award. She joined the company in 2004 as business development director from McCann Relationship Marketing.
