Supreme Group Appoints Olly Johnston as EVP to Drive Healthcare Marketing Platform Growth
Supreme Group's appointment of Olly Johnston as Executive Vice President signals strategic expansion of its integrated healthcare and life sciences marketing platform during a period of rapid growth following recent agency acquisitions.
Supreme Group has appointed Olly Johnston as Executive Vice President of Platform Growth and Transformation, positioning the healthcare and life sciences marketing platform for accelerated expansion and client service enhancement. Johnston joins the management team during a period of significant momentum following the company's acquisition of its ninth agency, Pivot Design, in August. His appointment underscores Supreme Group's commitment to advancing its integrated platform vision across the healthcare marketing landscape.
Johnston will lead Supreme Group's strategic growth agenda with a focus on expanding how the platform serves clients and creates new opportunities across healthcare and life sciences. His responsibilities include guiding initiatives that enhance client access to the platform's collective expertise, strengthening Supreme Group's market position, and unlocking new ways for agencies to deliver value and impact. The appointment comes at a time when healthcare marketing demands increasingly sophisticated, integrated approaches that combine specialized expertise with scalable solutions.
Johnston brings substantial industry experience to Supreme Group, having spent seven years at Inizio Evoke where he led the agency's customer experience and omnichannel business. During his tenure, 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. His previous roles include senior positions at MRM/McCann and other leading agencies where he helped clients navigate digital transformation and modern customer engagement challenges.
"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," Johnston said. "I'm excited to help unlock new growth opportunities for both our agencies and clients." His perspective highlights the growing importance of integrated marketing platforms that can deliver both specialized knowledge and broad capabilities in the complex healthcare sector.
Tom Donnelly, CEO of Supreme Group, emphasized Johnston's qualifications for the role. "Olly brings a deep understanding of client challenges and a talent for turning insight into opportunity," Donnelly said. "He will play a key role in how Supreme Group continues to evolve, meeting clients where they are and helping them grow faster." The leadership addition reflects Supreme Group's strategic direction under the backing of Trinity Hunt Partners, a growth-oriented private equity firm with over $2 billion of assets under management focused on building leading business services companies.
