Marianne Besch is a Global ECD, Managing Director.
Her career path has led her to some of the world’s top agencies- from New York to Amsterdam to Chicago, back to New York and now to San Francisco where in 2015, she hopped off a plane to build mcgarrybowenSF. (Literally, build. As in even help put the desks together.)
Marianne creates big organizing ideas that reach across platforms and around the world. An award-winning VR content series at the 2018 Olympics in South Korea. The global rebranding of a Fortune 500 company, which created over $10 billion dollars in brand value. A rallying cry that lifted women’s voices around the world, and inspired them to attend the Women's March, the largest march in history.
She loves technology and the role it plays in making the world a better place. During the early months of Covid she wrote and directed a story where one persons vision and technology enabled excess food to be delivered to the food insecure.
Career highlights:
Marianne has won more pitches than she can remember.
Her work has appeared on the Super Bowl, multiple times.
She has a box full of award show statues (somewhere).
She was nominated for an Emmy last year.
She has brainstormed with Lady Gaga. Twice.
Yet for Marianne, the most rewarding thing of all is showing up at work every day and doing great work for amazing clients, with some of her favorite people.
