Finsbury was founded by Roland Rudd in 1994 as Finsbury.[1] In 2001, the firm was sold to WPP in a deal that the Financial Times estimated earned Rudd £40 million.[2][3] Rudd remained chairman of the company.[4]
In 2011, Finsbury merged with Robinson Lerer & Montgomery of New York.[5][6] Rudd continued as chairman and Walter G. Montgomery became chief executive officer of the enlarged firm. Montgomery retired as CEO in 2014 but remains a partner in the firm.
In 2014, RLM Finsbury rebranded as just Finsbury which the firm felt would underline its global ambitions.[7]
