Global marketing giant Stein IAS, which runs its UK operations from Manchester, has announced a restructuring of its client services team.
Gemma Newton has joined Stein as client services director, EMEA, to further the agency’s ambitious growth plans in the region. Newton succeeds Jeremy Bramwell, who has been elevated to the newly created role of marketing director, to drive the agency’s presence and pipeline around the world.
Newton joins the agency following 14 years holding various leadership positions, which included managing the UK team and driving growth for digital marketing agency Elixus, and launching Media Agency Group’s data and insights function.
Newton also founded the UK Blog Awards, the UK’s first national awards program of its kind, and drove the transformation of multiple NHS Trusts, a project which received recognition at 10 Downing Street.
Stein IAS chief client officer Craig Duxbury said: “B2B is a sector in forward motion and its marketers are furthering this momentum with their focus on accelerating effectiveness and growth. Stein IAS needs to originate the best B2B marketing, integrating strategic, creative, GTM and digital excellence. Gemma’s vast experience across B2B and B2C makes her the ideal individual to lead our Client Services team in EMEA.”
Promoted Bramwell has worked in the industry for over 30 years and has experience across Stein IAS’ global client base. He has helped develop and implement brand and communication strategies for the likes of ABB, Trelleborg, Tetra Pak, Dechra and BP Castrol.
Stein IAS delivered a record-setting year in its most recent fiscal year, following another record the previous year. In the past year it has landed major new clients including Deloitte, Juniper Networks, Lexmark, Paper & Packaging Board, Thomson Reuters, Visit Britain, and ZS.
