Independent network The Bloc has appointed Jon Chapman as European Executive Creative Director.
Chapman previously held senior creative leadership positions at Havas Lynx, BBDO and BBH. He will work alongside Stephanie Berman, Global Chief Creative Officer, and Adam Hessel, CCO New York.
Berman commented: “Jon is exactly the kind of creative leader The Bloc was built for – bold, collaborative and driven by the belief that great work can do real good.”
In close collaboration with The Bloc’s European leadership team, including James March, Managing Director London, and Alessandro Seveso, CEO Milan and Basel, Chapman will be responsible for furthering the creative ambitions of the business, supporting healthcare clients and patients in meaningful, exciting and effective ways.
“The Bloc feels genuinely different,” said Chapman. “Independent, cares about people and uncompromising in the belief that creativity can solve any problem. It’s a business that is growing with understanding and intent to do good.”
The appointment is further supported by two additional hires strengthening the London team. Ruarí Burgham joins as Engagement Strategy Director, and Ellen Bunker joins as Account Director, adding further depth and capability to the agency’s growing London operation.
