Appointment comes alongside two promotions within the data team.

As featured in Campaign’s Movers & Shakers update today, MI Media has appointed Jack Glover to the new role of senior data analyst to support the increasing volume of data analytics and modelling work the agency is undertaking for clients including The Children’s Society and Kindred.

Alongside this appointment, MI Media has made two internal promotions. George Hobday has been promoted to Head of Digital and Data, taking the lead on the strategic direction of MI Media’s data solutions for its clients. Femi Allen has been promoted to Data Analyst in recognition of the work he has done in integrating clients’ first party data into MI’s measurement solutions to improve insights into the impact of marketing activity on clients’ businesses.

Reporting into George Hobday, Glover will lead MI’s development of improved data architecture, bolstering the existing team’s modelling capabilities to improve efficiencies in data analysis.

Glover joins MI Media from OMD UK where he was responsible for delivering insight from marketing mix models to brands such as McDonalds, to aid strategic planning around marketing budget allocation and resource distribution.

David Sequeira, CEO, MI Media said, “Robust data analytics has long been integral to clients’ marketing strategies. Jack joins the team with a proven track record of translating complex data sets into actionable insights to drive reactive and strategic marketing decisions. Together with George, Femi and the rest of the team, we’re perfectly positioned to evaluate media activity’s impact on business-critical metrics and empower marketing teams to make better-informed media decisions faster.” 

Glover said, “I’m hugely excited to join the team at MI Media. I believe in the power of leveraging data analytics and machine learning for marketing purposes, something MI has placed at the heart of its strategy for 2024. Already I have seen the effects of the great employee recognition and supportive team environment that MI prides itself on and look forward to continuing the hard work of the team here.”
