Gibbs will be working closely with the Blitz|GES teams at the venues to identify and capitalise on new business opportunities in the rapidly growing corporate live events sector.
Watson’s elevation to creative director is an extension of his current role and reinforces a crucial differentiator for the business – combining cutting edge technical knowledge with high-quality creative – all from a single account team. With clients increasingly requesting digital content and creative execution, Watson will lead this exciting area of the business.
Both Gibbs and Watson will report directly into Blitz|GES Managing Director, Paul Hutton.
“For more than 25 years Blitz|GES has been recognised as one of the most creative providers of technical event services in the industry – a reputation that is entirely due to the talent and creativity of our team,” comments Hutton. “I’m delighted to see Carol and Mark take on new, expanded roles. They both bring a wealth of experience, technical expertise and creativity that will add genuine value to our clients and partners.”
