Ozone – the UK’s premium digital advertising platform built for brands, by publishers – has appointed Jhan Hancock-Rushton to the position of Client Director. Reporting directly to Craig Tuck, Chief Revenue Officer, Jhan replaces outgoing client lead Sophie Raptis, who is relocating to Australia. Jhan will be responsible for building and nurturing Ozone’s direct relationships with advertiser clients.

Jhan joins Ozone with a wealth of experience gained across two decades working in premium publishing, most recently as publisher at The Stylist Group. Prior to that, Jhan held numerous senior advertising director roles at hugely influential media brands including British Vogue, Hearst and Time Inc.

As Client Director, Jhan will be responsible for driving revenue from direct advertiser partnerships. Through collaboration and consultation, Jhan will lead strategic conversations with key advertisers – and their agencies, where applicable – to maximise the revenue opportunity on offer via our premium publisher portfolio. These will range from bespoke campaign activations to more in-depth data and strategic media integrations. Jhan joins Ozone on Monday, 15 May 2023.

Craig Tuck, Chief Revenue Officer, Ozone, said: “The strength of the direct relationships we have with our advertiser partners, thanks to the incredibly fruitful foundations laid by Sophie, has been critical to our growth and the commercial successes behind  it. I am delighted to be welcoming Jhan to the team to build upon and grow these key advertiser partnerships. His wealth of experience will continue to elevate our client conversations and I can’t wait for Jhan to start.”

Jhan Hancock-Rushton, incoming Client Director, Ozone, said: “I am beyond thrilled to be joining the incredible, award-winning team at Ozone. I can’t wait to both build on the superb relationships my predecessor Sophie has made with our advertiser partners and establish new ones with more clients who see the value they can create by accessing the premium web through Ozone.”
