Glover joins Vision Critical team as company moves forward with European expansion.
London, May 12, 2010 – Strategic interactive research and technology company Vision Critical continues its European expansion with the appointment of Steevan Glover as Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Director, Europe. Glover will be based in the company’s growing London office.
“Steev has a holistic and entirely modern view of marketing,” says Vision Critical CEO Angus Reid. “He also brings fresh ideas for improving client interactions with an agency’s products and services. We’re excited to have him join our European team.”
Glover’s role at Vision Critical represents another step in the company’s expanding European presence, including newly relocated offices in Paris and London, to accommodate the company’s growing team. Staff numbers have quadrupled in Paris and tripled in London, over the past year, and last month the company welcomed Sally Campbell as UK Managing Director.
Glover’s professional background covers both business development and tactical marketing. He began his career as a marketing communications manager for Ingram Micro, moving his way up to become the Head of Creative Multi Media and Group Account Director for Archer Young Marketing. In 2003, Glover’s entrepreneurial drive led him to create Biglove – a creative consultancy and marketing service designed to help businesses sell, earn and achieve more.
Eager for a new challenge and a return to the team environment, Glover joined the London-based Blueprint Partners – an independent channel marketing and communications agency – where he created integrated campaigns with clients that included Porsche, Canon, Orange, BlackBerry, VW and Samsung.
Glover eventually launched Blueprint’s consumer electronics division and worked to expand the company’s digital and professional services offering. His ability to leverage intelligent online and new media solutions is a perfect match with Vision Critical’s emphasis on merging the best people, ideas and practices for the digital age.
With a degree in Dramatic Theatre and Film from the University of Winchester, Glover’s time outside the office is certainly never dull. He’s the author of a published novel, The Frog and The Scorpion, and an aspiring Olympic archer training to represent his birth country, Seychelles, at the 2012 Summer Games.
Vision Critical is a world leader in global online panel research. With offices in North America, Australia, the UK and France, Vision Critical will soon roll out its interactive research solutions to The Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland. Globally, the company hired 109 employees in 2009, with another 90 new staff members in 2010, to date.
