Clarion appoints new head of marketing

The senior management team at Clarion Gaming, the owner of the ICE London show, has been strengthened with the addition of Jeannette Gilbert as the new head of marketing.

Gilbert, who has 20 years’ experience in the events, travel and tourism sectors, comes from Reel Travel Exhibitions, where she was for three years head of marketing and communications.

Gilbert’s previous career included launching an airline in East Africa and developing marketing strategies for international conglomerates including Celebrity Cruises and hotel and retail company Whitbreak plc.

She said of her appointment at Clarion: “Gaming is a fascinating industry and I am looking forward to working with our customers and using the power of the Clarion owned brands to meet their business needs as everyone recalibrates for the post-Covid gaming economy starting with September’s iGB Live! and of course February’s return of ICE London.”

Stuart Hunter, managing director of Clarion Gaming, commented: “I am delighted to welcome someone of Jeannette’s calibre and experience to the Clarion Gaming team. She has a track record of driving creative marketing strategies, building brands and all of the time putting the customer front and centre stage.

“I am sure she will prove to be a great asset to Clarion Gaming and by extension to our international community of stakeholders.”
