LONDON - Jim Cruickshank, GCap Media's group marketing and interactive director, is leaving the company to join Multimap.com as general manager of its consumer-facing arm.

Cruickshank joined GCap from GWR, where he was group marketing director, when it merged with Capital Radio in 2005.

During his time at GCap, Cruickshank's focus was on the One Network stations as well as GCap's digital portfolio including Planet Rock and Chill.

He is also credited with leading the development of GCap's online and CRM strategy, overseeing the re-launch of all the group's websites and last year's launch of Xfm's personalised radio player, Mi-Xfm.

Steve Orchard, GCap's operations director, called Cruickshank a "great asset to the company".

GCap London managing director Fru Hazlitt is reviewing the company's interactive department and no replacement will be made until that review is completed.
