Square in the Air appoints Ben Cleminson as CEO as part of leadership changes
Ollie Drew becomes Chief Operating Officer; Robin Hutchison Chief Commercial Officer as Founder and former MD Bill Esdaile moves into Chairman role
Global award-winning marketing agency Square in the Air has promoted Ben Cleminson to CEO, with Founder and former Managing Director Bill Esdaile becoming Chairman.
Cleminson, the first person to join the company back in 2007, has worked alongside Esdaile and the firm’s management team to build Square in the Air into a full-service marketing agency with clients all over the world and a team of more than 50 employees based in London, Manchester and New York.
As part of the restructure, former Director Ollie Drew, who joined Square in the Air in 2009, becomes Chief Operating Officer, with Robin Hutchison, also formerly a Director, who joined the agency in 2012, appointed as Chief Commercial Officer. The new leadership team will report to Esdaile, who set up Square in the Air in 2006.
Ben Cleminson, CEO of Square in the Air, said: “It is almost 17 years to the day when I walked into that small side office in a house not too far from Stoke for my first day at Square in the Air.
“Although we haven’t enjoyed quite the same growth as the nearby bet365, it has been an incredible journey, and I don’t think Bill or I could ever have imagined back then where we’d be today.
“I know both Ollie and Robin would agree with me when I say that Bill has been the most incredible mentor and leader, and personally I am truly honoured to step up into the CEO role.
“We have a brilliant roster of clients and a hugely talented team who push themselves every day to think creatively and strategically, always focused on delivering results. We’ll continue to do that and more.”
Bill Esdaile, Founder and Chairman of Square in the Air, said: “I’ve been extremely lucky to have had the loyalty and support of Ben, Ollie and Robin for over 40 years between them.
“The time is right for me to step into a new role as Chairman where I can still strategically be involved but allow the three of them their chance to run the business.
“I’m so grateful for their hard work and dedication, and I look forward to Square in the Air continuing to blossom.”
Square in the Air works with operators, suppliers and affiliates across sport, betting and gaming, offering services including digital and traditional PR, social media and influencer management, ambassador and sponsorship activation, design and branding, video and content production, and performance marketing.

GR8 Tech launches ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame—an easy-to-launch solution designed specifically for the needs of experienced businesses: casino brands aiming to dominate sports betting without hiring an army of sportsbook specialists, or operators fed up with tech bottlenecks stunting their growth.
“We dedicate a lot of time to talking to the market, and one thing kept coming up: too many products are built for entry-level needs. That’s fine… until it is not. Operators that grow beyond the basics often hit a wall. Their current platform needs improvement and differentiation that comes slowly, if at all; at the same time, switching to something new just means discovering another set of limitations down the line,” shares Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech. “There was clearly a gap—a well-formed demand for a solution tailored to mature operators who know what their players want and are done settling for tech that slows them down or boxes them in.”
ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame was created to tackle these advanced challenges, enabling operators to differentiate with market-leading content and a customizable front-end while maintaining full control over crucial areas like player engagement and risk management. Feature-rich right out of the box, the solution drives the ultimate revenue boost with its AI-driven toolset.
“ULTIM8 is built for results. Operators using our iFrame solution see up to 50% GGR uplift through features that come ready to deploy—odds personalization, parlay tools, and dynamic cashout,” comments Sergey Ghazaryan, CRO at GR8 Tech. “Coupled with the geo-tailored layouts and widget-based frontend flexibility, these things give operators the ability to shape the ultimate experience for their audiences, while keeping full control over performance and profitability.”
With all these advanced features, GR8 Tech’s ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame still maintains one of the key decisive factors of all iFrame solutions—quick launch time. As long as operators provide everything necessary for the launch from their end in time, the business can go live within just one week.
Sergey Ghazaryan adds: “GR8 Tech aims to become the first choice for operators looking for high-performance sportsbook-driven solutions. ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame is a very important step towards this goal—an ultimate showcase of our sportsbook expertise, packed in a convenient, easy-to-integrate form, tailored to the demands of the mature operators that have been unanswered up until now. Well—not anymore.”
