Tracy Jones joins Marketforce from magazine distribution specialist Seymour International where, over a career spanning 20 years, she has gained unrivalled experience in the export market and built great relationships with both publishers and agents as head of the export operation.
Tracy will report directly to Marketforce International and Marketing Services Director, Christina Lucas, and is tasked with ensuring the development and delivery of Marketforce’s circulation strategy overseas. Her appointment follows the departure of Lizanne Barber, who is emigrating to New Zealand.
Christina says: “We are extremely pleased Tracy is joining the Marketforce International team; her reputation in the industry is excellent. She will work closely with all our publishers and agents to ensure we deliver the very best service to our clients. This is an important appointment at a key time, when international is higher on the agenda than ever before. Tracy will be integral to our continued success abroad.”
Tracy adds: “Marketforce is a truly exceptional business with a matchless portfolio of publishers and brands. I’m hugely excited to be joining the team at such an exciting time for UK magazines overseas.”
Tracy will take up her new role in September.
