Having been a client of Rokk Media’s as well as with Adam’s previous companies, Robert is equally excited about the appointment: “My own experience as a client with Rokk Media has been striking in that we share the same "think-outside-the-box" and positive commercial approach to fulfilling customers' needs. Adam has already built a great team to deliver on all aspects of their work, and I look forward to supporting and guiding them in their ambitions to progress Rokk Media to the next level.”
