Shearer named as board director at Mediacom Scotland
One of Scotland’s most respected TV buyers has been given a seat on the board of Mediacom Scotland. David Shearer takes his place on the board of Mediacom Scotland alongside the agency’s managing director Euan Jarvie, financial director Simon Tray and group chief executive Steven Allan.
Shearer has been with the media independent for three-and-a-half years, after joining from what was then CIA Scotland, now Spirit Media Scotland.
Shearer has worked in media for more than 15 years, starting his career at BBH in London.
Jarvie said that Shearer’s appointment to the board would ensure that almost all of the agency’s clients have a voice on the board as the business moves on to its next phase of development.
He added: “The business has grown significantly over the last two years and David has played an instrumental part in that as well as driving the business forward, so it was only right that we promoted him to the board. His skills are well recognised in Scotland and he has exceptionally good client management skills. His appointment to the board makes sure that all our clients have a voice at board level.”
Jarvie is set to take on four more staff in the coming weeks, boosting the agency’s staff numbers to 23 people in total.
