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

As a Mediacells senior analyst I help clients make sense of how they are performing against targets, through a blend of data science and storytelling techniques.

I am solution-oriented, used to developing end-to-end analytics solutions that reveal true insights for our global clients.

My daily duties are rich and challenging, for example, one day I could be wrangling data from multiple sources and the next visualising the data in Google Data Studio, whatever suits the client best.

I am expert in aligning and defining new metrics, setting up data pipelines and conducting transformational analysis across our client base.
