Our team

The company was founded by Jon Watts and Richard Ellis, who have been friends for many years.

Jon Watts has worked across the media and telecommunications sectors since the early 1990s and has undertaken a wide range of strategic and operational projects with leading companies in the UK and internationally. His experience includes strategic projects with broadcasters, mobile and fixed-lined operators, US studios and international media companies, digital media and online companies, youth marketers and entertainment rights holders. Prior to founding MTM London, Jon worked at Spectrum Strategy Consultants for six years, and worked as an independent consultant with UK media companies including Virgin, Emap and Pearson.

Richard Ellis specialises in programme management and organisational change and improvement. He has led many of MTM London's operations projects, including consortium bids under the government's flagship Schools and Academies schemes, and the development of a performance management framework for a non-departmental government body. Prior to founding MTM London, Richard co-founded and was Strategy Director of Wheel Digital, which grew into and remains a UK top three digital agency.
