Keable, Messer, Hamshere and Hutcheson take up new roles

Some job news from Newsline featuring new roles for four people MediaTel has worked with for some time:

Helen Keable – formerly Investment Director, Head of Radio & Outdoor Trading at Manning Gottlieb OMD, has joined Out-of-Home agency, Posterscope, with the slightly shorter job title of Commercial and Communications Director.

Sarah Messer, Head of Commercial Research at ITV, leaves in June to join Nielsen, working in sunny (baking hot!) Dubai.

Julie Hamshere is leaving her role as Director of Research at ZenithOptimedia after seven years to take up a similar position at Initiative.

Meanwhile, Specific Media has boosted its VOD credentials with the hiring of Graeme Hutcheson as Head Of Video.

Hutcheson is currently Associate Director, Futures & Implementation at MediaCom, where he oversees MediaCom’s buying and planning activity in VOD and explores commercial opportunities across new broadcast platforms.

Initially he joined MediaCom as a Buying Manager, heading up TV planning and buying across one of the client groups, after a move across from Mindshare. He will start in his new role in 3 weeks’ time.

Hutcheson’s former Group M colleague, Rhys McLachlan took a similar route when he left Mediacom last year to head up Videology’s UK business as Director of Corporate & Business Development.
