Stevenson (pictured) founded digital consultancy Bletchley Group in 2002, with clients including Bacardi, the Guardian and M&S.

He takes over the role from Jon Priest, who stepped down in July to join the company’s main investor board as a non-executive director.

Mark Bezerra Speeks, chairman of Future Thinking Group, said: "This is an exciting time in general for our industry, and specifically for Future Thinking as data driven intelligence is increasingly becoming the differential between success and failure.

"With this evolution comes opportunity, and we are delighted Jim has agreed to join us to spearhead the next stage of our growth."
