The news comes after Pearce announced he was leaving his role as chief executive of TMW Unlimited back in March after he held the role for over three years.
During his 11 years at TMW Unlimited, he rose through the ranks after he joined as business director, moving up from chief client officer to managing director before he took on the chief executive role.
Prior to joining TMW Unlimited, Pearce launched and grew two successful marketing communication businesses, HHP&B Ltd and Blowfish Advertising Ltd.
He will work closely with Nicky Bullard, MRM McCann's chairwoman and chief creative officer. On the appointment, she said: “Chris is someone I’ve admired for a long, long time.
“His amazing ability and phenomenal energy make him a fantastic addition to the stellar MRM McCann team here in London, helping to power the agency forward to the next level.”
On Foot's departure as chief executive, she commented: "Olly has a ton of talent in many different areas and some amazing opportunities in the new marketing landscape right now have proved irresistible to him." He is leaving to explore other opportunities.
Discussing his move over to MRM McCann, Pearce said: “When the opportunity came to join the irrepressible Nicky Bullard and her brilliant team at MRM//McCann, it was just too good to resist. I’m looking forward to working closely with Nicky to help drive the agency to even greater heights, grow strong brands and make as much of a dent in the London universe as possible.”
