Notch Communications, a strategic and creative B2B marketing agency focused on the science and technology sectors, has appointed a new chief executive officer and further strengthened its operations team.
Dr Kate Whelan PhD, who formerly held the role of chief operating officer, takes the position of CEO. Whelan began her journey in marketing at kdm communications and subsequently rose to account director at Gyro, a New York-based advertising firm. She founded Notch in 2011 with the vision of helping life science organisations of all sizes effectively communicate their innovations in crowded markets.
Notch has also strengthened over recent months with the appointment of Liz Fitzgerald, formerly finance manager at BRS Ltd, as finance manager, and Suzanne Craig, formerly office manager and workplace coordinator at fintech company Teya as office, culture, and logistics manager.
Whelan commented: “We’ve recently experienced phenomenal growth, more than doubling in size over the last three years, and this is a trend we intend to continue. My move to CEO, and the key appointments to the operations team, further strengthen our core value proposition and support our incredible scientists and marketers to continue delivering significant impact for clients.”
“Since joining Notch last year, I’ve been impressed with the passion and unique skill sets within the agency,” client services director Carla Knight, who joined Notch last year, added. “I’m looking forward to helping us continue our positive momentum, and the extra resource in the operations team will play a pivotal role in assisting these efforts.”
