Is procurement killing creativity?

Designed to tackle the issue of whether the rise in prominence of procurement teams is killing creativity, creativebrief hosted the first in a series of round table discussions last month. The four panellists comprised Sarah Wood (Marketing Director, The AirMiles Travel Company), Lotta Malm Hallqvist (EVP EMEA, McCann WorldGroup), Rene De Sousa (Senior Procurement Specialist, CIPS) and our Managing Director, Paul Duncanson.

The content of the discussion is to be translated into a white paper which will be available on our website next month.
New Head of Sales appointed

As more clients and agencies join creativebrief we have seen our team expand. Our latest recruit, Christian Price, who joined us from a successful background in publishing and marketing, has been appointed as Head of Sales.

Christian began his publishing career at Dennis Publishing, renowned as an excellent training ground for media sales.

After a brief interlude with EMAP Metro working on iconic titles Arena & The Face, Christian moved to Future Publishing to help launch Business 2.0 which was the UK's largest business launch. For the last three years Christian was Ad Manager on Director magazine at the Institute of Directors, rekindling his strong relationships with West End agencies.

Christian views the opportunity at creativebrief too good to miss and is looking forward to using his varied media sales expertise to lead the sales team into a prosperous future.More new members come onboard
