Team | Mediacells

Brad Rees

Chief Executive Officer

I have worked in media, sport and telecoms sectors at local and international levels since day. I founded Mediacells with Steve to enable global companies to deliver against their digital media strategies.

I am a strategic thinker, skilled at delivering practical routes to market for new products, services and campaigns.

I love collaborations and most recently I’ve been engaged with the Visual and Experience Design department of the University of Applied Sciences in Berlin focussing on future visual designs.

I led the roll-out of the Deutsche Telekom MMS Picture Messaging service in the UK, the first network to offer photo sharing to its interconnected customer base. BradCRees
