Jo Parker, co-Founding Director of Engage Comms Ltd, has been appointed as Interim Head of Marketing Communications by client NOCN Group.
Engage Comms has worked with NOCN Group as an external marketing communications consultancy in various different guises since 2017, including providing strategic crisis & issues management consultancy following major mergers and acquisitions, and delivering thought leadership campaigns to raise the profile of the chief executive.
The rapidly growing international skills charity was looking for a new Head of Marketing Communications who could lay the foundations for the next stage of its evolution by developing a new global marketing strategy, and building a marketing function and team with the experience and skills to implement it.
Having been unable to find suitable candidates in the market, NOCN Group’s senior management team approached Engage Comms Director Jo Parker to step into the Head of Marketing Communications role on an interim basis. From today (1 May 2024), Jo, with the support of the wider Engage Comms team, will be responsible for developing NOCN Group’s internal marketing department while plugging the gaps in communications and digital expertise in the short term.
Jo’s first task is to work with stakeholders across the whole organisation internally and externally to develop the new marketing strategy and then build and recruit the new marketing team, including her replacement. Engage Comms will provide outsourced communications consultancy throughout the process to ensure that the strategic work can be done while high quality day-to-day external marketing activity is rolled out.
