Press Release Body: HowTo.tv Appoints Head of Client Services Rebecca Allen moves from Centaur Media to Brand Funded Video Specialist
London, 9th April 2008: Rebecca Allen has taken up the newly-created position of Head of Client Services at HowTo.tv, the broadcast marketing channel. Rebecca joins from Centaur Media plc where she held the position of Display Advertising Director at Marketing Week.
In her new role, Rebecca will be responsible for helping brands maximise the potential of HowTo.tv's innovative concept in branded online 'how to' videos that can be delivered direct to consumers online or accessed via mobile devices.
Rebecca, who has gained nine years experience in the new media sector, including senior sales roles at New Media Age and Televisual commented:
"This move seemed like a natural step and a perfect fit with my experience. Brand funded online video content offers a great opportunity for brands to increase the value of their marketing spend and deliver tangible ROI. The HowTo concept is one of the most innovative developments in this area and I am really excited about the potential of this business."
Rebecca will report directly to Karen Brooks, Director of HowTo.tv, which has already attracted a roster of high profile brands to create HowTo videos including Screwfix, Oli.co.uk and Vodafone. Brooks commented:
"With consumers shunning traditional marketing routes and being more in control of what information they want, and how they select it, brands must deliver relevant, engaging and useful content in order to create a relationship with their target audience. Brand funded online video content that is aggregated and positioned in the right environments is the ideal way for brands to create one to one permission-based marketing opportunities. Rebecca will play a key role in providing brands with new insights into how they can effectively maximise this potential."
