Blueprint Partners has announced some exciting news for the start of 2026.

After 13 years with the business, Mark Anand has decided to pursue an opportunity outside of the world of agencies. Rhys Kirkham, who has been with Blueprint Partners for 15 years, will move from Chief Revenue Officer to CEO, with this transition complete by April.

Blueprint Partners will also see Stephen Moody join as Managing Director. Stephen previously worked at Blueprint Partners as a Business Director and after five years leading the Customer Experience department at WPP’s global creative and technology agency, VML, he returns with invaluable experience that will further strengthen Blueprint Partners’ leadership team.

Stephen and Rhys will work closely together to continue to build on Blueprint Partners’ momentum.

Rhys Kirkham, Blueprint Partners CEO, said: “I am incredibly proud to lead this fantastic business and continue the great work we do for our global clients. Whilst our direction remains clear, even in these first weeks of 2026 we’re already partnering with a new wave of clients and offering new and innovative solutions to drive real change. I am very excited about the future.”
