Brent Hoberman Chairman Mydeco (ex-CEO and Chairman lastminute.com)

'Mark was a real pleasure to work and really got what the lastminute.com brand was all about. He is energetic, passionate and creative. I enjoyed our 121 meetings where we looked at new ways to keep lastminute.com fresh and innovative brand/marketing wise. Projects such as the lastminute.com London beach, Lifeboard and Free Paris Hilton stunt did just that. Mark also helped define and reposition the lastminute.com brand to keep it on track for the future'.

Eric Partaker, Co-Founder Chilango

Better strategy. Better tactics. Mark has helped us tremendously with both. Strategically we have a better appreciation for the blend of art and science behind marketing... and as a team now give it the 'thinking time' it deserves. Tactically we're executing campaigns more efficiently, on-brand, and with less cost. The results? Better like-for-like's and more motivated teams... Everyone likes to see the numbers going up :-)

Robert Bean, Founder and CEO, Robert Bean Branding

I worked with lastminute.com across the Group's Brands, it was acknowledged by the CEO and CMO Europe that the real hero in the (brand definition) process was a young Scotsman called Mark McCulloch.

His tireless energy and diplomacy skills meant the difference between six clever strategic solutions sitting in a document somewhere, and every single one if their 2,000 people across Europe undergoing an intensive engagement programme so that they could all rally around their Brands with one voice.

It was an exhausting and exhaustive process but it simply wouldn't have happened without him.

Mark is one of the few colleagues I have worked with who can articulate his vision in a simple, practical & motivating way with real-time examples of how to deliver it efficiently. He has the right balance of creative & commercial flair, complimented by an engaging down to earth style. Mark is someone I really trust, enjoy working with & without hesitation would recommend.

Mark is a rarity in senior marketing professionals, he's holistic in his view of the marketing tools at his disposal and is therefore a keen advocate of partnership marketing to help him achieve his objectives. 

Mark is very creative, innovative, forward thinking and open to ideas, he was great to work with. I would highly recommend him.

Mark is a dream to work with.  His ability to tease out what is fundamentally at the core of a brand is second to none.  And with his deep knowledge of the food and drink sector, he's the go-to person for anyone looking to be seen and heard in this busy sector.

If you are looking for someone with a genuine passion for food and drink, slight obsession with social media and a vibrant and inspiring network, then you are in the right place! I have had the great fortune to work with Mark in various roles over the years, including lastminute.com in the early years and more recently at Red Carnation Hotels where Mark is currently supporting our efforts to showcase our people and their passions through social! I continue to be inspired by Mark’s endless enthusiasm, creative genius and genuine warmth as a person.
