Telegraph Media Group is understood to be seeking a board-level marketer with a strong retail background to replace its senior marketing team, which was scrapped last week. The publisher is believed to have a brief out for a senior commercial figure with experience in below-the-line marketing disciplines such as loyalty schemes.
TMG has axed the roles of general manager of digital, which was held by Mike Moore, together with Barry Flanigan's role as marketing director. Meanwhile, commercial director Dave King and newspaper sales director Steve McLaughlin have assumed responsibility for marketing.
Last week TMG announced the appointment of Google vice-president Lorraine Twohill, a marketing expert, as a non-executive director. (Via mad.co.uk)
