MiQ Adds Two Commercial Execs

In the UK, marketing intelligence and programmatic media specialist MiQ has appointed former Quantcast exec John Thomson as Chief Revenue Officer, while Clare Beddow joins as Head of Commercial Strategy.

Bridgepoint-owned MiQ was founded in 2010 in London, and now has operations in 22 offices in North America, Europe and APAC employing over 1,000 people. Thomson joins after nearly nine years at audience measurement and digital advertising firm Quantcast, where he latterly served as Commercial Director, before which he held sales executive roles at Yahoo! and talkSPORT.

Beddow joins with almost twenty years of experience in the media industry, across a variety of disciplines for companies such as Channel 5, Global Radio, Microsoft/AOL/Verizon, and most recently Spotify, where she worked as UK Director of Sales.

In his new role, reporting to MiQ UK MD Freddie Turner, Thomson will lead the firm's commercial strategy, overseeing relationships with partners; while Beddow will build and foster agency partnerships, reporting to Thomson. Turner comments: 'I am delighted to welcome both Clare and JT to the MiQ team. As MiQ goes from strength to strength and continues on our mission to over-deliver for our customers, both additions will bolster our commercial leadership in the UK, and reinforce that MiQ attracts and retains the best talent in the industry'.
