Heavenly Appoints New Business And Marketing Chief

Award-winning branding agency, Heavenly has announced the appointment of former Red Bee Media executive Alanna Clear as Head of New Business and Marketing.
Alanna will work alongside Heavenly's CEO Richard Sunderland to define new business strategy as the agency continues its strong growth.
Alanna joins Heavenly with ten years' experience in the branding advertising and broadcast industries, including two senior roles with Red Bee Media. Most recent;y, Alanna was Business Development Manager for Red Bee Creative and Red Bee Media Commercial Team, with a specific remit to develop a new business proposition for the company.
This focused primarily on preparing non-broadcast brands for the opportunities of web-enabled TV and required a thorough understanding of the market and its financial potential.

In early 2011, Matchaffinity.com licensed the idea for a UK trip to generate advertising and online content. It was produced by advertising agency Mother and production company Fresh One.

Not only does she have a wealth of experience in the industry, she also has a natural flair for creative and strategic thinking and will prove an invaluable part of our new business strategy moving forward."
