"At Shuttlerock, we know that agencies and brands have unique challenges that need to be addressed as they face a mobile advertising market that is relentless in its speed and scale," said Jonny Hendriksen, founder and CEO of Shuttlerock.

This allows marketers to rapidly maximize the reach and impact of existing creative and ensure the optimal performance of planned media investment. McBride began his career in digital marketing over 20 years ago in the U.K. Before his role at IPG Mediabrands, he served in a variety of positions at Ogilvy & Mather Group in Hong Kong from 2008-2016, first as general manager of OgilvyOne (News - Alert) Malaysia and concluding as managing partner of Ogilvy Group Hong Kong and managing director of Neo@Ogilvy.

"I have been on the front lines of digital marketing since its inception, and I can clearly see the opportunity for Shuttlerock to offer agencies and brands a new breed of creative enablement," said McBride. "It takes a significant amount of financial investment, time and resources to produce a single piece of creative, and we have the ability to use that one still image or video to rapidly create dozens of new high-performing mobile video assets. Our goal is to help agencies and brands amplify their creative campaigns in a way that's efficient and effective." McBride received a bachelor's degree with honors in marketing from the University of Strathclyde and a management school secondment, marketing and finance, from the University of Calgary.
