Youth marketing agency Raptor has appointed Group Account Director, Molly Chappin, to its Board of Directors as it focuses on organic growth and expanding its leadership team to position the agency for scale.
Chappin joined Raptor in 2021 as Senior Account Manager before progressing to Account Director in 2022 and Group Account Director in 2024. Chappin is responsible for driving innovation projects & global growth for the agency as well as leading key client relationships from Raptors portfolio including Jägermeister, Tinder, Airbnb and Pepsico. She previously held positions at Sense Marketing and Cube Communications.
As part of the Board of Directors, Chappin will bring a deep understanding of business challenges from someone closely involved in the day-to-day execution of client campaigns. As lead on resourcing within the client services team, she is also looking forward to shaping agency culture & talent development.
Completing the board are CEO and Co-founder David Burgman, Co-founder Jonathan Edwards, Finance Director Scott Smith and Financial Controller Lee Nicholas.

With a renewed focus on its value proposition, Raptor is entering Q3 on an accelerated upward trajectory, supported by significant investment in a high-performing new business team with a 78% pitch win rate, led by Chief Revenue Officer, Amy Weisberg. Weisberg joined the agency last year after almost 10 years at Manchester United Football Club as Global Partnerships Sales Director.
During this period of growth for the agency, Raptor has also expanded its Creative and Strategy departments with the appointments of former Elevate Product Director, Leah Lusted as Head of Product and ex-W Communications Creative Director John Wilkinson as Creative Director.
