17 November 2008
Leading regional advertising and marketing company Media Managers has strengthened its teams in Cambridge and Norwich with a number of new appointments to meet growing demand for its media planning and buying services.
Media Managers has recruited Jon Elson and Deborah Smith into its Cambridge media planning team. Jon has joined from Ipswich-based agency Stilton Advertising, bringing with him ten years of marketing communications experience. For recent graduate Deborah Smith, this is her first role in media since completing her degree in social sciences at Coventry University. Meanwhile, Lucy Wedderburn has been appointed as finance controller having previously worked for seven years at the MathWorks in Cambridge.
In Norwich, Jakki Hines and Joanna Daines have joined the company as media executives. Jakki had previously spent over ten years as a media and project manager at advertising agency Fox Murphy and prior to that had worked at Archant. Joanna (Jo) joins from sales and marketing company the Lively Crew in Great Yarmouth and before that held a wide variety of roles in marketing, events management and promotions in the region. Both Jakki and Jo report to Richard Whiley who heads the Media Managers team in Norwich.
Alistair Wayne, managing director of Media Managers, said, “As part of our growth strategy we are delighted to welcome our new colleagues on board. They bring additional skills and experience to the business, plus the energy and enthusiasm to deliver fresh marketing solutions to our clients. As a leading media specialist in the region, we’ve developed strong partnerships with creative agencies and grown our client base with some big names like Business Link East; Champneys Health Resorts; Duxiana; English Heritage; Go Ape; Learning and Skills Council; Newmarket Racecourses; OCR; Regent Theatre Ipswich; Ridgeons; and Theatre Royal Norwich.”
He concluded, “At a time when the media and advertising sector is undergoing rapid change and budgets are really under pressure to perform, our clients trust us to get the best return on their marketing investment. We maximise the impact of any advertising budget across all types of media, including digital, print, press, TV, radio, cinema and outdoor in regional, national and international markets. With additional capacity, we’ll be better able to help businesses in the region ensure that their media planning keeps pace with changing market conditions.”
