Prior to his stint at Wavemaker, Boardman was a director of strategy at insight at MEC. MEC and Maxus later merged to form Wavemaker.
Sophie Price, head of integrated strategy for the M&C Saatchi Group, said in a statement: “We searched locally and internationally to fill this role and James was the standout candidate.
“His reputation precedes him. I’ve been in this biz a long time now and I can honestly say James is one of the smartest, nicest people I’ve ever had the good fortune to work with.
“Together we are going to continue to drive a world-class integrated creative and media offering within the M&C Saatchi Group.”
Boardman added: “After eight fantastic years, it was time for me to take on a new challenge. Bohemia and M&C Saatchi’s offering is the most innovative in the market and I can’t wait to be part of this fascinating, integrated approach to see where we can take it in the coming years.”
The M&C Saatchi Group bought Bohemia in February 2017.
