Whisper has announced the appointment of two leading industry figures to its Advisory Board.

Matt Rogan said: ‘Whisper has an entrepreneurial leadership and culture that has challenged and changed what a production company delivers. They have grown by being innovative and creative, and, ultimately, delivering great outcomes for their clients. There is a drive and ambition to do more, which plays to my own experience of driving growth, innovation and quality in sports businesses that challenge the status quo. I look forward to helping Whisperrealise its significant potential.
Sunil Patel said: ‘The whole Whisper team is absolutely focused on building on the success – born out of hard work, disruptive thinking and getting the job done – we have created over the past 14 years. The challenge now is how best to take advantage of the brilliant people that make up the business, our excellent client relationships, and Whisper’s burgeoning global reputation for delivering quality at scale. Our ambition is clear; to become one of the best and most valuable sport and entertainment agencies in the world, and I am sure that Matt and Tina will be instrumental in helping realise that vision.’
