Career

David Jones was born and educated in North West England and holds business degrees from Fachhochschule Reutlingen and Middlesex Business School. Fluent in German and French as well as his native English, he began his career as an account executive at BDH Manchester (now TBWA) before moving to JWT in Paris and then Lowe Europe. Returning to London, he became the youngest board member at AMV BBDO.

Jones’ career with Havas began in 1998, when he was appointed CEO of Euro RSCG Australia at age 32. After launching the network’s first digital agency, he became president of global brands for Euro RSCG Worldwide and served as global brand director on Reckitt Benckiser. In 2004 he was promoted to CEO of Euro RSCG New York and in 2005 became the youngest global CEO in the history of the advertising industry, succeeding Jim Heekin as global CEO of Euro RSCG Worldwide and also taking on duties as directeur general of Havas.[2] In 2006 Euro RSCG became the first agency to be named Global Agency of the Year by both Advertising Age and Campaign in the same year.[3][4] In 2009, Jones added the title of global CEO of Havas Worldwide, running all the creative, marketing and design companies throughout the Havas network of 300+ offices. [5]

From 2007–2010, Jones led the Euro RSCG team advising David Cameron and the UK Conservative Party.[6] The campaign culminated in Cameron's election as prime minister in 2010.

In 2011, Jones expanded his position to encompass the entire Havas network, including Havas Media.[7]

Change leadership

David Jones is creator of the Social Business Idea™—a principle and practice that “operates at the intersection of social responsibility and social media” and “aligns the goals of doing well and doing good.”[1] He cites the Dulux Let’s Colour Project as an example.[8] Social Business Ideas are a focus of Jones’ book, Who Cares Wins: Why Good Business Is Better Business, scheduled to be published by Pearson/FT Publishing in late 2011. At Mashable Connect 2011[9] and other forums, Jones has advocated using the communication skills of the advertising industry to drive social change. He told Adweek: “I passionately believe that what our industry actually excels at is using our creativity to change people’s behavior. Given the state of the world, I believe that we in the creative industries not only have an opportunity but an obligation to use that talent and our creativity to change people’s behavior around some of the bigger issues facing the world.” [10]

In 2009, Jones cofounded global youth forum One Young World, called “arguably the most forward-looking and comprehensive piece of corporate social responsibility ever attempted”[11] by Marketing Week. In 2011, Jones’ work with One Young World was recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative.[12]

In advance of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen in 2009, David Jones was asked by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to create a campaign to communicate the urgent need for action. Jones drove the creation of the TckTckTck Campaign for Climate Justice, an open source campaign that recruited more than 17 million “climate allies” to the cause.[13] In 2010 TckTckTck won a “Game Changer” Award from We Media,[14] was short-listed for a Webby Award for world’s best advocacy campaign,[15] and listed by The Guardian as one of the Top 50 climate tweeters in the world.[16]
