Connecting Plots launches digital and media arm; appoints Inez Zimakowski to lead

Tom Phillips: ‘With Inez leading our digital and media capability, we’re now able to better shape end-to-end solutions that deliver business impact to our clients.’

Connecting Plots has launched its digital and media offering to be led Inez Zimakowski in the role of Head of Digital & Media.

She brings more than a decade of experience to the role spanning in-house and agency roles across the fashion, automotive, and retail sectors, including Hyundai, Oroton and Edge.

Her remit will include building a holistic performance and media offering for the agency, encompassing full digital and media audits, analytics and reporting, campaign and always-on media implementation, CRM strategy and deployment, website UX and customer experience.

“What excites me most is how these guys are putting media, data, and creativity together seamlessly and driving results,” Zimakowski said.

“Joining a creative-first agency like Connecting Plots gives us the opportunity to shape high-performing media from the start, not just at the end. It means better outcomes, smarter efficiencies, and greater agility for our clients.”

Zimakowski’s appointment follows the independent creative comms agency’s recent expansion into PR and earned media with the appointment of Katie Eastment as Head of PR in April and complements the growth of the specialist social and influencer offering a.glo, headed up by Kent Pearson.
