BritainThinks Promotes Eight in London

Qual-led insight and strategy specialist BritainThinks has promoted eight members of its London-based team. In addition, two individuals have moved into permanent positons after completing the firm's internship programme.

Launched in 2010 by Opinion Leader co-founders Deborah Mattinson and Viki Cooke and their former colleague Ben Shimshon, BritainThinks offers strategic advice for political, corporate and not-for-profit clients. Its WorldThinks international division has a specific focus on reputation research. Earlier this week, the company announced that it is handing the majority ownership of its business to an employee trust, set up on behalf of its team.

Max Templer and Rachel Rowlinson (pictured) have both been promoted to the role of Associate Director;
Amy Rainbow, Catrin Nichols and Isabel Gill have moved up to the position of Research Lead; and Eleanor Langdale, Alex Lusuardi and Tom Brookes have been promoted to Senior Research Executive. In addition, Chantal Aberdeen and James Cox join the team permanently as Research Executives, after completing the internship programme.

Templer joined through the programme in 2015 and after working at media buying agency Specialist Works; and Rowlinson joined last year with more than five years' MR experience, the last four of them at media agency UM London. Having all joined in 2018, Rainbow previously worked at research agencies We Are Unstuck and Revealing Reality; Nichols worked for IFF Research; and Gill was an Associate Consultant at online community specialist C Space. Again having been with the firm since 2018, Langdale joined the internship programme from PR firm Flashbulb; Lusardi was previously a Research Assistant; and Brooks had been an English teacher in Seoul, South Korea.

Shimshon comments: 'We are delighted to promote all eight members of our team. All thoroughly deserve this recognition of the hard work they put in and the value they bring to their clients and the company. It will be fantastic to see them step up in their new roles'.
