We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that VCCP’s Vice-Chairman, Julian Douglas (or Dougie as he is better known), has been named the next IPA president-elect to succeed Nigel Vaz, global chief executive of Publicis Sapient.

Dougie was chosen following a formal three-month selection process led by former President Sarah Golding, CEO of The&Partnership who headed up the Presidential Nominating Committee.

Says Sarah Golding:<\/strong> \u201cI could not be more delighted that Julian has agreed to take on this role. He is the perfect person to lead our industry at this time of tumultuous change. Julian\u2019s energy and opinion will be invaluable in helping us all make the most of the opportunities that 2021 will bring and I’m sure he will be an outstanding President.\u201d

Says Paul Bainsfair, IPA Director General:<\/strong> \u201cI am very much looking forward to working with Julian to ensure the IPA remains the power behind the practitioners. He is smart, energetic and hugely popular. He has already made a great contribution to the IPA through his work on the IPA Council. I can\u2019t think of anyone better to help us all navigate our way in a post-Covid world.\u201d<\/p> \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n

\n I am truly honoured to have been chosen as the next President of the IPA. I look forward to building on the outstanding work of my predecessors in championing our industry, its creativity and its impact in the world. We are living through a massive reshaping of the economic, social and natural environment. How we adapt as an industry will dictate how we, and our clients, survive and prosper in the years ahead. \n Julian Douglas, Vice-Chairman, VCCP<\/cite> <\/blockquote>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/section><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":22,"template":"","categories":[191],"class_list":["post-12268","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","category-agency-news"],"acf":{"author":false,"capability_ids":[],"client_id":"","hero_video":"","hero_image":{"ID":12273,"id":12273,"title":"Dougie staircase","filename":"Dougie-staircase.jpg","filesize":52840,"url":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/news\/2020\/dec\/dougie-announced-as-ipa-president\/attachment\/dougie-staircase","alt":"Julian Douglas on the VCCP office stairs","author":"22","description":"","caption":"","name":"dougie-staircase","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":12268,"date":"2020-12-03 18:00:20","modified":"2021-05-21 15:05:57","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":815,"height":543,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":640,"medium_large-height":427,"large":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase.jpg","large-width":640,"large-height":426,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase.jpg","1536x1536-width":815,"1536x1536-height":543,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase.jpg","2048x2048-width":815,"2048x2048-height":543,"Header":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase.jpg","Header-width":815,"Header-height":543,"Wide":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase.jpg","Wide-width":815,"Wide-height":543,"Square":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase-768x543.jpg","Square-width":768,"Square-height":543,"Tall":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase-307x543.jpg","Tall-width":307,"Tall-height":543,"Mobile":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase-768x543.jpg","Mobile-width":768,"Mobile-height":543,"Facebook":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase.jpg","Facebook-width":815,"Facebook-height":543,"Grid-Item-Square":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase-768x543.jpg","Grid-Item-Square-width":768,"Grid-Item-Square-height":543,"Grid-Item-Wide":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase-768x384.jpg","Grid-Item-Wide-width":768,"Grid-Item-Wide-height":384,"Grid-Item-Tall":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1\/2020\/12\/Dougie-staircase-307x543.jpg","Grid-Item-Tall-width":307,"Grid-Item-Tall-height":543}},"meta-title":"Dougie announced as IPA President","meta-description":"Julian Douglas, vice chairman of VCCP, has been named the next IPA president-elect to succeed Nigel Vaz, global chief executive of Publicis Sapient.","social-media-image":false,"news_id":"191","related_content_title":"You may also like","relateditems":false,"hide_related_items":[],"visible_on_home_page":["1"],"websites_to_publish":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/12268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress-dev.vccp.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
