The Brand Union promotes Simon Bailey to Managing Director

Fresh from its relaunch, The Brand Union (formerly Enterprise IG) has announced some top level restructuring. Client Services Director Simon Bailey will take the reins as Managing Director in London.

Bailey joined The Brand Union in 2004. Since joining, he has assumed the role of Client Services Director with overall responsibility for the agency’s Vodafone account. His move to Managing Director now sees him taking a much broader commercial overview of the day-to-day business.

In turn, Craig Page-Lee has moved from The Brand Union’s Johannesburg office to assume the role of Managing Client Director. With responsibility for developing high-level client relationships and providing strategic branding insight, Craig will now lead the Vodafone account. As a result, he is also part of Team WPP Vodafone, which helps Vodafone coordinate activities across the network of WPP agencies.

Dave Brown, UK Chairman at The Brand Union says of the new appointments:

"Simon is an exceptional talent and combined with his considerable experience he undoubtedly has the skills to strengthen the London office. Both Simon and Craig have been instrumental in defining our new proposition and their promotions herald the first of many positive new developments here at The Brand Union."

Simon Bailey, Managing Director at The Brand Union adds:

"This new position allows me to play a much broader role in the day-to-day running of the business. For the immediate future, I look forward to working closely with the UK Executive Board in helping to deliver The Brand Union’s new proposition."
