Mine the gap

Mark Thompson, a marketing professional specialising in customer experience management, has joined Datamine in the role of senior business consultant, or Templar as it is known in the Datamine camp. His most recent role was marketing manager for HSBC.

“I’m looking forward to working with a range of companies to assist them in turning conceptual ideas into viable customer solutions,” he says. “I think one of the strengths I bring to the table is in defining and never losing focus on the customer’s end goal as we manage multiple inputs.”

Vicki Febery is also joining the team as account manager, or Owl, as those keraazee Dataminers call her. Febery has a wealth of experience in account management and marketing roles within the publishing industry, both in New Zealand and the United Kingdom. For several years, she has run her own marketing consultancy, specialising in magazine marketing
for titles such as Oh Baby!

She will be responsible for the day to day account management of several of Datamine’s key clients.

“I thrive in fast-paced environments and am well versed in keeping many balls spinning at once!” says Vicki.

Sally Carey, Datamine director and head of Datamine’s client services team says the company is growth mode in 2010, having taken on a number of new staff since the beginning of the year.
