Centaur strengthens management at MarketMakers and
Oystercatchers
Centaur Media Plc, an international provider of business
information and specialist consultancy, today announces two senior
appointments at Xeim, the group's portfolio of leading marketing
brands. Jude Bridge has joined as managing partner of
Oystercatchers, our marketing consultancy and networking business,
and Darren McGill will join MarketMakers, the UK's leading B2B
telemarketing agency, as managing director from 2 January 2020.
Jude, formerly marketing and communications director at Marks
& Spencer and Save the Children UK, brings powerful expertise
in building brands and driving business growth at some of the UK's
most iconic brands. Her previous experience includes a spell as
global brand and marketing director at Mothercare.
She was responsible for a number of award-winning campaigns,
including the 'Your M&S' campaign which won the IPA Grand Prix
for effectiveness, and Save the Children's 'No Child Born to Die'
campaign, which was awarded the Thinkbox Grand Prix. As well as
becoming managing partner of Oystercatchers, Jude will develop and
lead a marketing excellence programme across Xeim, driving
effective market segmentation and ensuring best-in-class marketing
practice.
Darren has a wealth of experience in senior management and
commercial roles, most recently as chief revenue officer at Signal
AI, the leading media information business. Previously, he was
international commercial director and general manager at WGSN, the
world's leading fashion information business. In both roles, he
successfully led the growth of sales and profits. Darren will
develop and lead a sales excellence initiative across Xeim to
improve customer retention and sales productivity and to drive
profitable revenue growth.
Swag Mukerji, Chief Executive of Centaur, commented:
"I am delighted to welcome Jude and Darren to Centaur. They each
bring a great breadth of experience, and I am confident that their
expertise in sales and marketing will help Xeim achieve our
ambitious Margin Acceleration Plan 2022. I look forward to working
with both of them as we implement our strategic vision."
