Online marketing agency Freestyle Media has promoted James Ward to chief executive officer.
Ward was previously Freestyle’s chief operations officer for 18 months. He will be responsible overseeing Freestyle Media’s profitability and production.
Ward said: “I am looking for efficient implementation of any recommendations from the newly created online strategy team and I plan to expand the team in line with the expected growth in our business. This growth, along with effective management and my plan to streamline web production processes, will result in improved client online results and Freestyle profitability,” he said.
Ward will still work as account manager and provide web strategy for Sanitarium brands - Weet-Bix, So Good and Up & Go, and Constellation Hotels Group.
In June this year, Q Ltd paid $1.3m in cash and shares for Freestyle, with deferred consideration tied to future earnings of the company until the end of 2009.
Freestyle Media currently has group revenues exceeding $3m annually.
