Presenter: Debbie Stevens
Debbie is head of marketing for subscriber retention at Telegraph Media Group. She’s responsible for all subscriber marketing communications, from the point a reader subscribes to when they churn. A key part of this is running Telegraph Extra, a loyalty programme consisting of offers, events and competitions. Earlier this year, Debbie and her team launched ‘VIP’: a tier of rewards only accessible to The Telegraph’s most valuable and loyal subscribers.
Prior to joining The Telegraph, Debbie worked for over ten years in corporate development to raise funds for the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), Royal Academy of Arts and English National Ballet.
