As co-founder of renowned media agency MBM, which was acquired by Publicis Groupe in 2019, McCready brings a long, distinguished track record of high-level media industry expertise to the firm.
Beyond his experience in agency leadership, McCready is the Founder of OPEN Financial Coaching and Advice. He also serves as a Strategic Advisor for ad-tech platform Youdooh, having been an early investor in that business, which One Plus One has collaborated with both as a customer and as a PR partner.
Founder and Managing Director of One Plus One, Kelly Bennett, says the collaboration is an exciting development for the agency, giving existing and future clients access to top-tier media insights, advice and expertise.
“I’ve known Sean since we launched and reckon he has one of the best media minds in thecountry, so bringing his strategic nous into our firm is a real coup, frankly. We’re lucky to have
him,” says Bennett.
McCready is equally enthusiastic about the collaboration and expanding the agency’s service capabilities.
“It’s a lovely opportunity to be joining forces with Kelly and the team at One Plus One. I’ve been very impressed for a while, watching them build significant momentum and deliver for clients, so I look forward to working across their fantastic client roster, where appropriate, and bringing a media lens to the communications work the agency is already delivering.”
McCready’s expertise adds to One Plus One’s comprehensive suite of services, following the launch of its dedicated Government Relations practice earlier this year in Wellington.
