New contracts manager and commercial executive join agency.
The Point.1888 has created two new roles within its team.
The new wave of recruitment sees the arrival of Saul Segalov (above right) as commercial executive. Saul will be responsible for supporting the agency’s brand managers day to day.
“Licensing is something I have grown up with as my family has been in the industry for many years,” commented Saul. “I was lucky enough to attend my first BLE just weeks ago and saw lots of potential new brands, exciting licensees and new contacts for our existing brands.
“I can’t wait to see them unravel from start through to completion… what can be better than seeing some product sitting on a retailer’s shelf that you have been working on right from the off?”
In addition, Lynne Chappel (above left) joins the company in the role of contracts manager. She has been tasked with supporting the team in completing all legal documents to move client agreements forward more quickly.
Lynne is also no stranger to licensing, having set up a brand licensing group in the US and led licensing programmes for the Campbell Soup Company and Playboy Enterprises.
She commented: “It’s amazing to be working with such a strong team of people.”
Will Stewart, md of The Point.1888, added: “Business opportunities for The Point.1888 are coming in thick and fast and I need the strongest team of people around me to ensure we maintain our high standard of work. Saul and Lynne have already fitted into the team so well.”
