Jungle Creations appoints chief executive

London-based, global social-first publisher and creative agency Jungle Creations has appointed Mallory Simmonds as chief executive as it enters its next phase of growth.

Mallory joins from Kepler Group, where she most recently served as chief executive across EMEA and APAC, bringing extensive experience in data, media and commercial strategy.

She will now lead Jungle Creations’ growth, building on its publisher-powered model and strengthening client partnerships.

Her appointment completes an all-female senior leadership team, further reinforcing Jungle Creations’ leadership as it continues to scale.

Mallory said: “Social is a proven growth driver, and the brands winning today are those treating it as a business priority. 

“Jungle is uniquely positioned to support this shift, operating at the intersection of world-class social publishing and outcomes-focused partnerships. 

“The owned audience data and scaled creative infrastructure that power Jungle’s iconic media brands also supercharge its ability to deliver true business impact for clients. 

“I am incredibly excited to be joining a team with both the talent and the ambition to define the next era of social.”

Katie O’Reilly, chief operating and finance officer at Jungle Creations, added: “Mallory stood out from the moment we met. 

“She has a strong commercial mind, a genuine understanding of data and insights and appreciates what it takes to grow a business with real rigour behind it. 

“She recognised what we are building at Jungle immediately, and that instinct matters as much as the experience she brings. 

“We are incredibly excited to welcome her and know we are lucky to have her.”
