2005 - new year, new faces, new offers

It's been a busy new year at creativebrief so far. With major new investment in the business secured and growing client activity, we have plans for significant growth in 2005. As an early part of this, we're delighted to announce the appointment of Tom Lucas to head up our client services division.

Tom brings a wealth of client management experience to the team, based on ten years in top-flight London advertising agencies such as AMV.BBDO, St. Luke's and HHCL/Red Cell. He has worked with Yellow Pages, Sony, Mars, BSkyB, HSBC, Barclays, COI and more. Tom's role will be to lead the offline complement to creativebrief's online platform.

'creativebrief's online offer is unique. Our clients are under enormous pressure to unearth the right service providers, manage them efficiently, and demonstrate their contribution to the business. We've developed a suite of products which allow clients to not just search, interact and select, but also to manage their roster agencies, refer cold calls, monitor emerging talent and radically improve their knowledge of the market. creativebrief really is becoming the ultimate one-stop shop- and now it's just a phone call away.

We're learning more and more about what our clients want and need from us. Over the coming months, I'll be re-engaging a number of clients and taking them through the developments here. With the creativebrief platform as a base, I'm confident we can become the default homepage location for everyone involved with the appointment of marketing service providers.'
