Rob Newton
Head of Marketing
Date Joined: May 2026
Role: Rob is responsible for the marketing execution and strategy across MFB, so he's paranoid when it comes to typos! The day job will veer from copywriting to data analysis, SEO and PPC, events and media activity, and a host of other tasks/problems/challenges that get thrown their way.
Qualifications:
BA History 2:1 (I wrote my dissertation on society's change in attitude towards infanticide 1700-1800, but my favourite module was The Cold War)
Experience: Rob's spent 20+ years in marketing, starting out as an admin assistant in the Government of Dubai's Tourist Dept in London. He was quickly dismayed when moving into the media, publishing, and events world that work trips were usually to Earls Court and Olympia rather than the Burj Al Arab. After stints in various corporate and non-for-profit organisations in London, he looked closer to home for his next role, landing at MFB in May 2026.
Interests: Chelsea FC, occasionally other football matches, music, scrolling on social media, a good box series, and annoying my daughter.
Favourite Film/Album: The Big Short / Oasis - Definitely Maybe
