Jim Faulds, newly appointed MD of JWT Cape Town

“I am looking forward to the challenge and my plan is to change the perception that JWT is an old school multi-national agency network by delivering more integrated and locally relevant solutions for our clients,” comments Faulds.

An immediate priority for Faulds and his new leadership team is to create a more streamlined and integrated operation by harnessing the diverse skill sets in both JWT and rmg:connect Cape Town. He believes that he will play a major role in delivering a more integrated offering to key clients at JWT Cape Town, including Shell, Pfizer, Brandhouse, Future Growth and Green Cross.

Says Modise Makhene, CEO of JWT South Africa, “Jim’s knowledge and experience in the industry is invaluable to the JWT operation in Cape Town. Within the JWT Group, Jim has demonstrated an entrepreneurial flair and has proved to be innovative and dynamic in providing client solutions. Jim also has excellent interpersonal skills - both with employees and clients – a quality which is vital for this industry.”
