Kevin Roberts
Current Rank: 2
Statistical Rank: 9217
Direct Contact: saatchikevin.com
CEO Worldwide, Saatchi & Saatchi
Kevin Roberts is the New York-based CEO Worldwide of Saatchi & Saatchi, now part of the Publicis Groupe - the world’s fourth largest communications group.
Roberts moved to Saatchi & Saatchi in 1997 during a period of turmoil for the company – and has since revitalized the 1970 UK-founded firm. In 1998 Frohlinger’s Marketing Report named him the Outstanding Advertising Agency Executive in the USA. The next year (and again in 2003) Saatchi & Saatchi won Ad Age International’s “International New Business Champion” title. In 2003 Saatchi & Saatchi was named Best Global Network by both Ad Week and Ad Age publications.
Roberts’ acumen as a businessman has patently transformed Saatchi & Saatchi. The company listed at one pound in 1998 and sold in 2001 at five pounds. Under Roberts’ leadership, Saatchi & Saatchi Global has grown revenue and profits for seven years running. In parallel, the company has enjoyed outstanding success at the prestigious Cannes International Advertising Festival.
Roberts’ consistent positioning at the top of world marketing and trends is underpinned by a belief in the power of great ideas and emotional connections to create unlimited value. Over the last decade he has applied this belief in an attempt to fundamentally change the face of marketing.
Roberts then gave Saatchi & Saatchi a new focus: to create and perpetuate ‘Lovemarks’. Lovemarks is Roberts’ answer to arguably the biggest question in world business - what comes after brands? Says Roberts: “Brands are running out of juice. The era we leave behind took us on the heroic journey from products to trademarks to brands.” Roberts describes Lovemarks as powerful emotional connections between companies, their people and their brands that inspire Loyalty Beyond Reason. “When I first suggested love was the way to transform business, grown CEOs blushed and slid down their annual accounts” he says. “But I kept at them. I knew it was love that was missing. I knew that love was the only way to ante up the emotional temperature and create the new kinds of relationships brands needed.”
Tied in with Roberts’ business success is his ongoing commitment to a series of academic institutions and projects. In the 1990s he became a Senior Fellow in the University of Waikato’s Management School where he wrote Peak Performance. The university awarded him an Honorary Doctorate in 1998. In 2001 he became the inaugural CEO in Residence at Cambridge University’s business school in the UK - the Judge Institute of Management. In 2003 Roberts was appointed Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at both the University of Limerick, Ireland and in the Waikato Management School. At these institutions Roberts teaches and coaches with his unique brand of inspirational leadership.
