Dan Brooke to leave Channel 4

After eight years at Channel 4, Dan Brooke has today announced that he will be stepping down as both chief marketing & communications officer, and board champion for inclusion & diversity.

Brooke is to leave the broadcaster early next year to launch a new marketing and communications business, specialising in helping companies become “mission and purpose driven.”

“I have been lucky enough to have the most wonderful job, in a company that I adore, for many years. I’m proud of the things my incredibly talented marketing and communications teams have achieved and that the most ground-breaking of this work has achieved such powerful results and consistent global recognition,” Brooke said.

“I’m also proud to have been the Board Champion for Diversity and Inclusion, leading the drive that saw Channel 4 voted Britain’s Best Diverse Company. With the 4 All The UK plan now successfully launched it’s a good time to leave on a high and use these successes as a springboard for my burgeoning ambition to help other mission and purpose driven companies grow.”

Chief executive Alex Mahon added: “Dan has made a huge and far-reaching contribution to the life and success of Channel 4 over many years. I’d like to thank Dan personally for the support and advice he has offered me in my first year and, on behalf of the whole organisation, wish him the very best with his future plans.”
