Core Media has appointed Gary Bampton to the newly created position of head of operations.
Brampton joins Core Media from Realex Payments where he spent four years, most recently as head of operations for worldwide e-Commerce. Realex was established by the Irish entrepreneur Colm Lyon and was sold in 2015 to Global Payments.
Prior to this, he spent seven years with Elavon, another global payments provider company, working across a variety of commercial and operational roles, including head of Irish and UK operations.
In his new role, he will direct and coordinate the business operations of Core Media to maximise excellence and efficiency across the group.
“Our business is continually expanding and managing this growth is critical to the ongoing success of the company. As a result, we decided to create a new head of operations role and we are delighted to appoint Gary to this position. He brings an absolute wealth of valuable experience with him, having spent over a decade in a variety of operational, commercial and leadership roles in leading global companies. His experience will help ensure that as we grow, we will continue to achieve operational excellence across the company,” says Alan Cox, CEO of Core Media.
Core Media consists of nine individual marketing and communications agencies: Spark Foundry, Mediaworks, Starcom, Zenith, Core Knowledge, Engage Communications, Livewire, Ignite and Radical. Between them, the group employs 293 staff.
