Hearst Content Agency appoints Dan Levitt as MD and secures first client, Princess Cruises
One month ago Hearst UK restructured its client services team as Hearst Solutions, a move which saw Hearst Made rebranded as Hearst Content Agency. Now the content offering has appointed Dan Levitt as managing director and announced its first new 2019 client, Princess Cruises.
