Shake up at lastminute/travelocity
Former travelocity.co.uk marketing manager Stuart Parish is taking on a newly created role of head of retail marketing for lastminute.com and travelocity.
He will be responsible for delivery and development of the brand and acquisition strategy for both brands. With a major shift towards online advertising, Parish takes on additional responsibility for search engine marketing across the entire UK brand portfolio.
Lastminute.com brand development manager Mark McCulloch has been promoted to become head of brand development.
Gemma Le Marquer joined the senior marketing team in June as head of CRM.
All three will report into the UK marketing director, a position which is currently vacant following the June departure of Mat Hart to become commercial and marketing director of health club company Cannons.
UK managing director Mark Jones said: “With these key positions now filled we have a great senior leadership team in place to lead the UK marketing team. Until a new UK marketing director is appointed I am caretaking the role.”
Completing the team who report into the UK marketing director are Matthew Cunliffe, travel brands marketing manager and interim Holiday Autos marketing manager Tracey Osbourne.
