Cartology has announced new additions to its team, starting with the appointment of Ebonie Newman as group lead – channel planning and solutions.
Newman joins the agency in the product and platform team led by Steve Geelan, to create a new function that will bridge the gap between sales, product, client strategy and insights to deliver clients the right media mix and solutions that meet client objectives across the company’s unique selection of omnichannel products.
Newman joins Cartology with over 15 years of media experience across Australia and the United States, most recently as global chief commercial officer at Storyful where she played a pivotal role in the relaunch of the organisation from social video company to a data-led news and intelligence agency.
Steve Geelan, head of product and Platform at Cartology, said of the appointment: “Ebonie boasts experience in developing client-led solutions, in data-led environments. With the breadth of opportunities online, in-store and in-centre, Ebonie will play a key role in our product and platform growth strategy.”
Newman’s appointment coincides with the announcement of the newly developed national agency leadership team. This team bridges talent and experience from its agency sales team and the Shopper sales team to drive collaboration and customer-led results for agency partners.
