Managing Director at THG Ingenuity

Celebrating THG's 20th Birthday fills me with pride and gratitude, as it’s a journey that has been a huge part of my life for 18 years. Reflecting, I’m reminded of the memories, lessons, and incredible people who have been a huge influence in my career to date. Working at THG has taught me the importance of never settling and always pushing beyond any self-imposed limits. The culture here continues to encourage innovation and self-belief, driving us to be brave in our approach. The backing from the business and belief in myself has remained throughout various layers of management, giving me continued confidence to push myself, my career, and the teams around me…. there’s much more to come! There’s been so many incredible memories! One of my favorite memories was the launch of the first Nintendo Wii, back in one of our old offices. The sales rate was unprecedented, and the energy in the office was electric. We had a human chain stretching from the top of the office to the backdoor, where our couriers worked tirelessly to keep up with the demand, as did we. It was testament to the team's collaborative spirit and resilience, seeing how everybody worked for each other and mucked in, with pride for the business shining through. We even helped Ben Hardcastle became a temporary legend, riding high on the commissions (As you can see in Pic 8) 😊. These values remain today, with a much larger team 😊. I’ve been fortunate to be part of exceptional teams over the past 19 years! Developing the CPG category within Ingenuity remains integral to my position, nurturing a culture and drive that now thrives with over 100 passionate individuals, and many strategic client partnerships that continue to scale. I’ve had many highlights throughout the years! Last year we picked up the Team of the Year award, and I was humbled to receive the Employee of the Year award for Ingenuity, which was a real highlight to see the recognition from the business continue after 18 years, and the value that this brought to our team. I owe a great deal of gratitude to Matthew Moulding and John Gallemore for giving me a chance 19 years ago. I’ve continued to learn and be inspired by both, as well as  many other individuals over the years and still to this day, such as Richard Ward, Hannah Pym, Liz Deverell-Smith, Naomi Wright, Alistair Crane, Darren Rajanah, Jon Parton, Pete Preston, Adam Knappy, Mark Foster, Tom Killeen, Mohammad Ali Shahadat , Michael Holden (the list goes on), and of course, the entire CPG crew and leadership. The last 20 years have gone in a heartbeat! Here’s to the next 20 years of successes at THG, and for many individuals that will play a part in our continued journey together. #20Years20Stories #WeAreTHG #THG20

I vividly remember the Nintendo deal Dean Amery. I cut my honeymoon one day short to try and complete it. No wonder I’m so popular at home 😂.

Loved the post and pictures, Dean. Always been a fan of your leadership style. All the best for the future.

The man, the myth, the legend… You’ve always set an example for team culture & collaboration. ‘Reliable’ and ‘trust worthy’ are understatements… Been amazing working with you. long may your success continue 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Always remember the Wii deliveries coming and us all being a human chain to get them all in, and the Mario Cart Wii night - probably the only time in my life I have played on a game console!! Fun memories, great pictures, the polo shirts and Ben's obsession with his hair! Congratulations on 18 years Dean!

I thought we’d moved into the big league with that board room table, massive step up from the borrowed stuff we had
