Bio

Will Swayne is the Global Practice President for Media at Dentsu, where he leads the Global Media Practice with a focus on delivering excellence in client offerings and driving client growth and transformation. He joined Dentsu in March 2000, managing Carat's global Adidas account before moving to APAC to establish a Regional Client Team in Hong Kong and later serve as Managing Director of Carat Hong Kong; he subsequently led major client campaigns including P&G as Managing Director of Carat USA, and went on to become Global President of Carat. In a prior group-wide role, he oversaw the evolution of Dentsu Aegis's client partnerships across an expanded portfolio of key global accounts — connecting capabilities across customer experience, creative, media, and data — having built trusted relationships with clients including P&G, The Coca-Cola Company, Mastercard, and Diageo.
