Mark Whitty founded Whitty Worldwide in 2006 following a successful 20-year career with international advertising agencies. His award-winning work has been recognized by numerous news outlets, including the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Advertising Age and CNN.
A true Horatio Alger story, Mark began his career in 1985 in the mail room of a London-based advertising agency. Within 5 years he had worked his way up the ranks to become his firm's youngest ever Account Director, responsible for accounts which included Mars, Hoover and Virgin. It was while he worked on the promotion of U2's breakout album, The Joshua Tree, that he gained insight into youth market-building, and was a part of the Boots chain worldwide rollout.
Mark moved to the U.S. in 1995 to join one of the country’s hottest creative agencies, Goldberg Moser O'Neill, where he made a name for himself managing the national account for Boston Market. Prior to founding Whitty Worldwide, Mark was President of a boutique San Francisco agency, and served as VP at McCann-Erickson in San Francisco and Tokyo, working with premier brands such as AT&T and Louis Vuitton Moet-Hennesey. His extensive pro-bono work includes campaigns for the National Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization. He is an Arsenal fan and plays British football every weekend.
