Kitcatt Nohr Promotes Annette Blunden to Deputy Managing Director

Agency Kitcatt Nohr has promoted Head of Client Services Annette Blunden to the role of Deputy Managing Director, reporting to Managing Director Vonnie Alexander.

Blunden assumes the newly-created role following her return from maternity leave. The role will see Blunden overseeing client service and agency operations.  She will also continue to manage relationships with a number of the agency’s clients, including Sky and supermall owner Hammerson.

Blunden joined the agency in 2007 as Client Director, before becoming Head of Client Services in 2010. Beginning her career client-side working for Mars UK, she then moved into account handling at TBWA\GGT, before joining CHI & Partners as Client Director, responsible for The Telegraph and RBS accounts.

Cosham, currently Business Director at the agency, will now take on the role of Client Partner. Reporting directly to Blunden, Cosham will head up the day to day running of Client Service. Cosham was at Kitcatt Nohr between 2007 and 2010, and returned to the agency last year after 3 years at Saatchi & Saatchi.

Along with Managing Director and Kitcatt Nohr co-founder Vonnie Alexander, Blunden and Cosham will play an increasingly active role on existing business, ensuring that all clients benefit from senior input.

Annette Blunden, Deputy Managing Director, said: “To return to Kitcatt Nohr after maternity leave as Deputy MD is incredibly motivating. I can’t wait to embrace the new role and work with the rest of the agency on being the best for our clients.”

Vonnie Alexander, Managing Director, said: “I am delighted that we have such talent in the agency and have been able to promote from within. With Annette and Michael in their new roles we have a truly formidable senior team. They will help take the agency from strength to strength.”

The agency has also promoted former Business Director Nick Burbidge to Head of Operations, and Account Directors Harriet Elsom, Stephen Jefferys, Suzie Mills and Flic Theobald to the role of Business Director.
