Agency.com appoints Nick Corston to head up Sales & Marketing

Agency.com London has announced the appointment of Nick Corston to the position of Sales & Marketing Director starting July 2005.

A pioneer of the industry, Nick brings to Agency.com over 17 years of experience in digital communications, having worked in every aspect from online advertising and web design to direct marketing and events.

In his position at Agency.com, Nick will be responsible for the dedicated UK Sales and Marketing team.

Nick joins Agency.com from fellow Omnicom agency, Craik Jones where he was Head of Digital. Whilst at Craik Jones, Nick worked to establish a totally integrated digital capability.

Prior to Craik Jones, Corston was the Founder/Director of Arawak Interactive Marketing (1994-2002), working with clients such as Microsoft, Sony Playstation and the British Heart Foundation to create cutting edge and truly integrated digital marketing campaigns, webcasts and CD ROMs.

Nick Corston, commenting on the appointment said: "The last few years has seen digital widely adopted below the line. Now it is increasingly proving itself above the line. With Agency.com’s reputation for delivering integrated digital communications across this infamous ‘line’, I couldn’t be joining a better agency at a better time."

David Eastman, Managing Director of Agency.com London, said: "Nick’s experience of digital goes back as far as it is possible to go. We’ve worked with Nick in the past and he always impressed us with his professionalism, passion and knowledge of the industry.

Nick will report into David Eastman. He replaces Bill Brock who is leaving Agency.com in June.
