Oliver Eills, CEO and Founder

With 20 years' international media and advertising experience, Oliver is uniquely placed to build America's leading international media solutions business. 

Beginning his career working for Condé Nast in London, he went on to international roles for News UK, and The Economist Group. As Advertisement Director for the launch of Monocle Magazine, he was recruited to join Publicitas, the world's largest international media representation firm. Partnering with premium international media brands including the Nikkei, South China Morning Post, Schibsted Media Group, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, American Express Publishing, and The Washington Post, Oliver gained a global perspective of the media landscape, at a time of seismic change for the industry. 

Launching Publicitas Middle East, and later moving to New York as Managing Director of Publicitas Americas, Oliver's international journey continued, strengthening partnerships with publishers including The Globe and Mail, Lagardère and Televisa.

With unparalleled global experience, and having led Publicitas through the concurrent digitalisation of the media industry, the explosion of programmatic and audience targeting solutions, AdVentures Americas, under Oliver's leadership, is primed to support brands and agencies in the USA navigate the international media landscape and to develop powerful, enduring partnerships for our international publishers.  

Patrick Williams has been involved in senior managerial roles in several entrepreneurial start-ups in the past few years including Zeamo R360 Global, The Thursday Room, Vetr, and DailyWorth. Combining this with his career in media, becoming part of the launch team at AdVentures Americas is a natural follow-on, bringing the fast pace of start-ups to the media world and building a successful business by helping clients and agencies expand their footprint and reach target audiences efficiently and effectively. 

Taking on the position of publisher of Worth Magazine for its re-launch, the media brand turned a corner and became profitable for the first time. Implementing innovations across the board, Patrick ensured success by developing new revenue streams from native marketing channels to tailored events. The Leading Wealth Advisors section is now a core part of the business which Patrick built from scratch.

Before joining, Sandow Patrick was a publishing executive at Condé Nast, instrumental to the pre-launch and launch of Condé Nast Portfolio.

For 14 years, seven in London and seven in New York, Patrick worked with The Economist newspaper who moved him to The United States to help bolster advertising sales in the Americas. Prior to this, Patrick worked at The Telegraph and The Financial Times.

He is delighted to be married to Susannah de Bromhead, thoroughly enjoys their three children, and lives in New York City and Long Island. Patrick has also completed eight marathons, including the Marathon des Sables. He was Educated in England at Cherwell College and Ampleforth College.
