Bigwave Marketing, a leading Southwest marketing agency is delighted to announce the appointment of Morag Blazey as a Non-Executive Director.
Morag brings a wealth of experience, having spent her career in marketing, media and data services. Her extensive background in business leadership, development, and marketing intelligence has seen her lead major agency and data experience businesses, shaping communications strategies for national public sector programmes, and advising organisations on growth, change and merger and acquisitions.
Starting in full-service agency Bartle Bogle Heggarty, Morag went on to join the agency PHD in 1994 – rising through the ranks to become UK CEO. Following travel to Australia she returned to the UK in 2009 and developed the UK Government communications strategy for the Pensions Reform Bill and later, in 2012, developed the Olympic Delivery Authority communications strategy for the 2012 Olympics transport plan.
Ebiquity, a marketing services company, appointed her in 2014 to UK CEO with a seat on the PLC board, and in 2017 she became Global Practice Lead of the Market Intelligence Division which she sold in 2019, taking the opportunity to retire.
Bigwave Marketing is confident that Morag’s understanding of the agency sector and her strategic insights plus operational expertise will further strengthen the agency’s leadership team and accelerate its growth.
Commenting on her appointment, Morag Blazey said, “I am really looking forward to helping Tom, Simon and the team grow the agency, deepen their expertise, and of course grow their clients’ businesses. The UK leisure and culture sectors are dynamic and diversifying, offering exciting opportunities for both consumers and businesses. Bigwave has a unique understanding of these opportunities and how marketing can support them to help businesses thrive and us all get fitter!”
Simon Beer, Director, Bigwave Marketing added, “We are thrilled to welcome Morag to Team Bigwave. Tom and I met Morag through a Create Growth Programme run by Creative UK which paired us with her for mentoring sessions. We found the sessions invaluable, and she has continued to work with us beyond the programme to have a positive impact on our colleagues, clients and community.
“Morag has spent the past four months working with our Senior Leadership team and providing a valuable level of leadership training and support. We look forward to the insight and guidance she will bring to the wider agency.”
Morag’s appointment follows that of Leisure Industry specialist, Ivan Stevenson who joined the Board in 2025. The two roles seek to strengthen Bigwave’s leadership, providing insight and support across the whole agency.
