Isobar Ramps up Account Handling With New Hires & Promotion

Isobar is ramping up its client services team, appointing two new Business Directors following a hugely successful run of new business, bringing in nine new clients in the last seven months.

The majority have been pitch wins; however others are clients from within the Dentsu Aegis Network, who have seen the benefits of their collaborative model, such as Go Compare.

Vinod Subramanian joins from Wunderman where he was the global team lead on Microsoft Mobile. He was also managing Novartis OTC and Unilever accounts.  Ian Maybank is appointed as Business Lead for Kellogg’s joining from Grey London where he worked on key clients such as Vodafone, Mcvitie’s and GSK. He will lead the Kellogg’s Business where the agency works closely with Carat and iProspect to deliver Kellogg’s digital communications across 60 markets in EMEA. 

Both will report into Jon Boardman, Managing Director, who joined at the beginning of last year.

Alongside the two important hires the agency has also promoted Blake Cuthbert to Client Partner who will now manage the output of client services. These three roles further strengthen Isobar’s account handling abilities, and allow room for growth as the agency enters the final quarter of 2015 with an exciting set of new clients.

Jon Boardman, Managing Director at Isobar commented, “We’ve had a great new business record this year and we’re continuing to improve the quality of output for our existing clients.  You can’t do that without great people and an account management team focused on our product.  I’m really happy that we’ve attracted talent like Vinod and Ian to Isobar and it was an obvious decision to promote Blake to Client Partner”.
