Alex Young

Managing Director We Are Futures

About

Having spent a career working in advertising, digital and integrated marketing agencies, both at large groups such as WPP and in smaller independents, I felt the need for a change. To build more positive outcomes not just for clients but for the audiences involved too. To put the skills I had developed in the commercial and creative worlds to more purpose-driven aims.
I found the answer in We are Futures, its clients, and our unique focus on building mutually beneficial partnerships with young people.
My job is to ensure we continually provide our clients with the most powerful and connective solutions, while providing our audiences with enhanced opportunities, learning, development, careers skills and more, to set them up more positively for life.
I’m proud of the work we do at We are Futures, our forward-thinking clients that share our vision, and of course the teams at our agency that make it all happen.
