Thinkbox fills new planning position

by Media Week, Media Week 16-Oct-07

Thinkbox, the marketing body for commercial television, has hired a planning manager after a six-month recruitment search.

Zoe Fuller will take on the role from the end of November, after finishing her time as planning director at Sponsorvision - a specialist agency in sponsorship and advertiser-funded programming.

Her new role will consist of working closely with the planning communities in both the media and creative agency worlds.

Thinkbox research and strategy director David Brennan said: "Fuller will be responsible for liaising with these communities and ensuring the work we do provides them with actionable data and results.

"We needed someone who had experience from the media owner and agency sides, with a good sense of the wider planning function of both creative and media."

Prior to working at Sponsorvision, Fuller headed the sponsorship division of Sky Media, BSkyB's airtime sales arm.

Before this, she spent six years at sponsorship agency Drum PHD and has worked at Channel 4, Yorkshire Television and Television South West.
