“Mark takes up the helm at Accenture Interactive at a very exciting time, as demand for services in this part of our business continues to grow at pace and at scale, reflecting the demand by our clients for offerings in brand strategy, design, marketing, content, and commerce,” said Bob Easton, chairman, Accenture ANZ.
“This is a new adventure for me personally and represents the next chapter in expanding a part of the Accenture business which harnesses creativity to help organizations close the gap between brand promise and customer experience,” said Green. “Since the acquisition of The Monkeys by Accenture two years ago, we have demonstrated the power of combining consulting, creativity, and technology under one roof; this not only provides unbelievable advantage for clients, but also opens up a world of new career opportunities for employees.”
