David Jones
David Jones is the founder and CEO of The Brandtech Group, the digital-only marketing group he built to help global brands do their marketing better, faster and cheaper using technology and, increasingly, generative AI. A British executive who once ran the entire Havas network, he left the traditional agency world in 2014, raised hundreds of millions to launch You & Mr Jones in 2015, and rebranded it The Brandtech Group in 2022. Today the company operates in dozens of countries with thousands of employees and positions itself as the world's leading generative-AI marketing company. Jones also co-founded the youth leadership forum One Young World and wrote the book Who Cares Wins.
The Brandtech Group
The Brandtech Group is a marketing technology holding company built to help the world's largest brands do their marketing better, faster and cheaper using technology - and, increasingly, generative AI. Founded by former Havas CEO David Jones in 2015 as 'You & Mr Jones,' it has grown through a string of acquisitions into a digital-only group of roughly 7,000 people across 40+ countries, spanning in-housing agency Oliver, performance-media group Jellyfish, and its flagship generative-AI ad platform Pencil Pro. Clients include eight of the world's ten largest advertisers, and after a $115M Series C in 2024 the group was valued at about $4 billion.
