Pritchard brings to Reactive over 14 years in the communications game. In his most recent role as digital business director at DDB Group, Pritchard oversaw the growth of the group’s digital offer. During his time, RAPP Tribal became Campaign Asia Pacific Australia and New Zealand Digital Agency of the Year (2012), DDB picked up its first Webby award and a number of Cyber Lions, and DDB’s Shaper programme was launched.
