Jaclyn Beavis is now marketing director for mobile and broadband business Sky Connectivity, while Steff Bryant is named marketing director for Sky Sports and Movies.
Sky has appointed Jaclyn Beavis as marketing director for mobile and broadband business Sky Connectivity, while Steff Bryant has been named marketing director for Sky Sports and Movies.
The appointments come amid a period of change for the media giant, following the departures of two senior marketing leaders in recent weeks.
Sunny Bhurji, previously marketing director for Sky Connectivity, left last month to join Tui as group brand and content director. Dave Stratton, former director of sports marketing for Sky Sports and Now – and a Marketing Week Top 100 Most Effective Marketer – also left last month to pursue new opportunities in sport.
Beavis joined Sky in 2012 as a marketing manager and was most recently head of brand and growth at Sky Connectivity.
“I’m excited to build even stronger relationships with our customers, bringing them the best connectivity experience, with unbeatable value at the heart of everything we do,” she says.
Bryant, who joined as a marketing graduate in 2014, has held a range of senior positions within Sky, most recently as head of entertainment marketing at Sky and Now.
Commenting on his departure, Stratton tells Marketing Week: “Sky is a fantastic business, full of amazing people and it’s been a privilege to work on a brand that I’d so admired from the outside for many years.
“Thanks to my teams for their passion, dedication and desire to always believe in better. I’m excited about the next chapter in my career and wish everyone at Sky and Sky Sports continuing success – I’ll be cheering you on from the sofa.”
