James Connelly

In 2009, I co-founded and became CEO of Fetch. Fetch partnered with some of the worlds greatest internet companies, providing services around growth marketing. Our clients included Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Apple Music, Microsoft, Expedia, Uber and Supercell.

Fetch grew across 3 continents with the US being our largest market, driving in excess of £250m turnover per annum and was recognised as the fastest growing company in Europe in 2014. Japanese listed Dentsu acquired a majority stake in Fetch in 2014, I remained as CEO and chairman until 2019, whilst also responsible for Corporate Development and M&A for Dentsu UK.

In 2019, I completed the sale of Fetch and embarked on a well-earned sabbatical.

I am an investor in a multitude of interesting and disruptive start-ups including Tribe, Livia’s, Reboxed, Everpress, Whalar & Measure Protocol.

I’m passionate about disrupting industries with purposeful businesses. I am always on the hunt for inspiring people who want to create amazing companies...
