BBC lures Nuttall back

Lindsay Nuttall
Lindsay Nuttall: unable to kick her BBC habit

Despite massive cutbacks and shrinking management expense accounts it seems that for some former employees the BBC is a hard habit to break. Lindsay Nuttall, the former head of marketing at BBC2 and BBC4, is returning to the corporation as BBC1 and drama marketing chief. Nuttall bid adieu to the BBC in 2009 after two years after Myspace came knocking with the offer of a newly created role as international marketing director. She left Myspace in 2010 as things soured for Rupert Murdoch's one-time internet darling to help MTV with the US launch of Skins, before turning up at her current employer, online fashion retailer Asos, heading strategy and communications. The well-travelled Nuttall earned her digital marketing spurs with the launch campaign for the first series of E4's Skins back in the day – saucy teens cavorting in their undies, very public displays of affection, drug taking, puking ... you know the drill. Monkey can't wait for her first Antiques Roadshow promo.
