Mediaworks has appointed Hannah Elliott to lead its media planning and buying operations.

She joins Mediaworks to optimise omni-channel executions, already getting to work on its clients in the retail, finance and housing and construction.

Hannah said: “We’re growing our paid media efforts to offer a fully integrated online and offline proposition. Mediaworks’ proprietary IP is game-changing in the way we can now track customer journeys and insights.

“That intelligence is unrivalled in the years of experience I’ve had in media planning and buying. I’m excited about the opportunities that presents to our clients.”

Brett Jacobson, CEO and founder of Mediaworks, added: “We’ve always endeavoured to find the best of the best to continue to improve our business and Hannah’s skillsets are beyond comparison in this field.”
