PHD UK

The year that Knighty has delivered for PHD would be a phenomenal achievement in any year. To do it in his first year of leadership, having only joined in early 2025 makes it even more remarkable.

Within 12 months of taking on the PHD UK CEO role, he’s created new benchmarks of success for PHD and the industry to chase, giving the agency focus and renewed energy. In 2025, PHD won it's biggest ever UK pitch (the £90m Entain account), was ranked by Warc as the UK’s most awarded AND most effective media agency and delivered new benchmarks of commercial and awards performance. It was a stellar leadership year for Knighty. But it became an even more stellar year for PHD. PHD’s BEST. YEAR. EVER.
