Aegis Media UK today announces that Stuart Giddings has been appointed as the new managing director of leading specialist media agency JustMedia.
Current managing director Jacqui Wallis is stepping aside after ten years with the agency to spend more time with her family. Wallis will however remain part of the agency’s management team, developing the strategic direction of the company.
Commenting on her decision, Jacqui Wallis said: “Although this wasn’t an easy decision to make after ten years at Just Media, it is the right decision for both the agency and myself, as I relocate to the coast to devote more time to my family and in particular my one-year-old daughter. I will be sticking around to further develop Just Media’s market-leading range of services and work for clients. I’m sure Stuart will do a fantastic job as the new MD and open up a new chapter in the agency’s history.”
