Supreme Group, a next-generation agency platform for healthcare and life sciences marketing and communications, has appointed Olly Johnston as Executive Vice President, Platform Growth & Transformation. Johnston joins the management team during a period of rapid momentum following the company's acquisition of its ninth agency, Pivot Design, in August. He will lead Supreme Group's strategic growth agenda, focusing on expanding how the platform serves clients and creates new opportunities across healthcare and life sciences. His initiatives will enhance client access to the platform's collective expertise, strengthen market position, and unlock new ways for agencies to deliver value and impact.
Johnston brings extensive experience from his seven years at Inizio Evoke, where he led the agency's customer experience and omnichannel business. He built and scaled a global team across the U.S. and Europe, establishing the agency as a trusted growth partner to top pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Previously, Johnston held senior roles at MRM/McCann and other leading agencies, where he helped clients navigate digital transformation and modern customer engagement.
“Supreme Group is building something special in healthcare and life sciences marketing: an integrated platform that combines deep, specialist expertise with scale, in a way that makes it easier and quicker for brands to grow with impact,” said Johnston. “I’m excited to help unlock new growth opportunities for both our agencies and clients.”
Tom Donnelly, CEO of Supreme Group, commented, “Olly brings a deep understanding of client challenges and a talent for turning insight into opportunity. He will play a key role in how Supreme Group continues to evolve, meeting clients where they are and helping them grow faster.”
The appointment underscores Supreme Group's commitment to its integrated platform vision, which combines specialized agencies across Brand + Creative, PR + Communications, and Digital Performance, powered by AI and connected by strategy. The platform is backed by Trinity Hunt Partners, a growth-oriented private equity firm with over $2 billion in assets under management. Supreme Group's portfolio includes Supreme Optimization, Health+Commerce, Amendola, Curator24, Kadiko, Nimble Works, and Pivot Design. By bringing in a leader of Johnston's caliber, Supreme Group aims to accelerate its growth and deliver greater value to clients in the healthcare and life sciences sectors.
