Repucom Names Stainer UK & Ireland MD

In London, sports marketing researcher Repucom has promoted Jon Stainer for the new role of Managing Director of the UK and Ireland.

Repucom's sports sponsorship evaluation offer includes the measurement of brand activity at events and the performance of rival brands across the sponsorship inventory. Last year, the firm acquired Milan-based Immagine & Sport, which provides a range of market research and media ROI analysis services, as well as target audience profiling.

Stainer (pictured) joined Repucom-owned Sports Marketing Surveys in 2000, where he held various senior roles including Project Manager for Olympic Games projects 2002, 2004 and 2006, and FIFA World Cup projects 2002 and 2006. While there, he also served as Media Research Manager, and latterly as Deputy MD, and more recently he was Repucom's Commercial Director.

In his new position, Stainer will report to Repucom founder and CEO Paul Smith, who comments: 'Jon is an outstanding professional who brings significant management experience as well as an excellent track record of delivering research solutions to major players in the industry. I have had the privilege to work side by side with him most recently and it is of great benefit to the group that he will be leading one of our flagship markets.'
