Four role promotions and three new hires announced in Ozone’s commercial team
The Ozone Project, the UK’s leading high attention digital advertising platform, has announced four new promotions in its commercial team, with Daryl Manian and Bill Dennett appointed as Agency Sales Hub Leads, Frances Lazenby moving into the new role of Head of Strategic Solutions and James Mapley becoming Senior Client Services Manager.
Prior to their promotions to Agency Sales Hub Leads, Daryl and Bill both held the position of Senior Agency Sales Partner. Now, and continuing to report into Commercial Trading Director Jacque Chadwick, each will take responsibility for revenue delivery and relationship management with their hub colleagues across their respective agency patches. Daryl will oversee all agencies within Omnicom Media Group, and Bill - operating out of Ozone’s Manchester office - will be focused on the expansion of the platform’s regional footprint.
Frances Lazenby moves into the newly created role of Head of Strategic Solutions, having previously been Ozone’s Senior Sales Strategist - a position held since joining from MediaCom in November 2019. Reporting directly to Ozone’s CRO, Craig Tuck, Frances will take responsibility for leading on high-level, integrated pitches working alongside the full agency and client sales team, identifying new ways to bring the platform’s unique capabilities to bear for customers.
Having joined Ozone in November 2019, James Mapley has been promoted to the role of Senior Client Services Manager - reporting into Client Services Director Emma Cranston - in a team tasked with delivering best-in-class service and expertise in measurement, campaign delivery and format innovation.
Ozone will also welcome an additional two new sales hires over the next few weeks; Richard Rust and Jack Oates will join the Agency Sales team as Senior Agency Partner and Agency Partner respectively. Prior to joining Ozone, Richard was Country Lead for Agency Sales at Zeotap, while Jack held the role of Sales Account Manager at Mapp Media. These appointments follow last week’s arrival of Angela Decube who joined from Hearst as Senior Agency Sales Partner. In addition, recent graduate Carly Colgate will also be joining the business in the role of Client Services Executive.
Craig Tuck, Chief Revenue Officer at The Ozone Project, said: “We’re delighted to announce these four latest promotions, not just because they are incredibly well deserved, but because they are true testament to Ozone’s desire to elevate the great talent we already have within our business when we can. Frances, James, Daryl and Bill match their commercial acumen with great enthusiasm, while exemplifying the values we look for across the business. I couldn’t be happier for them all, and look forward to seeing them thrive in their new roles.”
