From 1991 to 1996, Andy was founder/CEO of Greenfield Group, a leading London-based marketing communications company. The Greenfield Group comprised seven individual business units, including advertising, public relations and direct marketing. During Andy's five-year tenure, Greenfield was one of the fastest growing agencies in the UK with a strong creative track record. In 1996, Greenfield was purchased by a European publicly traded marketing services holding company. |
