Cheltenham business owner and investor Oliver Bruce is appointed to the senior leadership team of global marketing agency consultancy firm, Agency Futures, this February 2025.
Owner and founder of Pinpoint Media, which has offices in London and Cape Town as well as Cheltenham, Oliver becomes a board advisor for the leading mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory firm, which focuses on helping agency owners around the world build their businesses.
Oliver, who is from Cheltenham, is known for founding two multi-million-pound companies and acquiring another before turning 30. He was also named 'one to watch' in the prestigious LDC and The Times Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders programme in 2024 — and landed a spot in SoGlos's 50 most influential individuals in business in Gloucestershire 2024, too.
Through his business success, he's also flying the flag for neurodivergence — seeing his ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia as strengths that have enabled his creative and innovative approach to business.
Bringing a deep understanding of growth strategy, creative performance and leadership, Oliver will provide practical, experience-driven advice and firsthand insight into the challenges of independent agency ownership, to both agency founders and prospective buyers, in his new role with Agency Futures.
He said: 'I joined Agency Futures to support, empower and help agency owners and founders explore opportunities to scale, exit, or achieve the value they rightfully deserve from their life's work.
'With my background, I understand the pressures of business growth and innovation; and I look forward to helping agency owners and buyers navigate their next big moves.'
