Press
Release Body: David Hardy has joined
bigmouthmedia as the search marketing group's International
Sales and Marketing Director.
Stepping
into a key strategic and operational post, Hardy will play a lead
role in the delivery of the group's growth and expansion programme.
Charged with strengthening the company's sales and marketing operations
across 13 international offices, Marks & Spencer Money's former
Head of Online Marketing and Ecommerce expects to hit the ground
running.
"It's
a tremendously exciting time to be joining bigmouthmedia. This
is an industry-leading company that operates in a constantly shifting
marketplace, and every day brings a fresh set of challenges,"
said Hardy. "That generates the kind of pace and atmosphere
it's impossible to avoid getting caught up in."
Prior
to his stint driving Marks & Spencer Money's highly successful
ecommerce strategy, Hardy served as Online Retailing and Marketing
Director at Hilton Hotels International. A highly experienced
marketing professional, he previously occupied senior roles at
American Airlines and HSBC.
"After
over 13 years client side this is my first role with an agency
- I was convinced to cross the line because of the strengths of
the bigmouthmedia operation and its plans for the future,"
added Hardy.
"After
several years working with bigmouthmedia as a
client I'm in a good position to know this. Whilst the view is
slightly different on the agency side, it's an exciting and dynamic
time to be in e-commerce irrespective of whether you're an agency
or client, and I'm fortunate to be in a position to see both perspectives."
Bigmouthmedia
Group CEO Steve Leach added: "We're delighted
to be working with David. He brings a wealth of international
business experience to the senior management team that I'm confident
will deliver real benefits as we continue to drive the group forward."
