The Sales & Marketing team see the two disciplines as increasingly intertwined. Marketing professionals need to be commercially savvy, whereas sales professionals need to think about how the sales cycle, feeds into the marketing process, and so the team takes a holistic approach to the work it does.
With numerous successful Board- and Director-level appointments, as well as record turnover in 2021, the Sales & Marketing team is going from strength to strength, and is looking to expand with the addition of an Associate Director and Executive Researcher to meet growing demand. Please contact Louise for details.
