Docherty promoted to sales director at GMG Radio Scotland
Jimmy Docherty has been promoted to the role of sales director for GMG Radio Scotland, taking over from recently appointed managing director, Gavin Bruce.
Docherty joined GMG Radio Scotland as head of creative in July 2007, a role that has now been filled with the promotion of senior creative writer Jacob Chan.
“I’ve enjoyed every minute of my time with GMG Radio Scotland and I’m delighted to have this fantastic opportunity to lead what is, in my opinion, the finest commercial team in Scottish media,” commented Docherty.
“With the skill set we have, I believe we’re well placed to continue to offer our clients and partners compelling creative solutions to their advertising needs, showing how radio can play an important and integral part in their media mix.”
As to the appointment of Chan, Docherty said: “Jacob has been with the business for seven years now, starting out as a Trainee Writer. His ambition, creative flair and commercial nuance has always been evident, so it was enormously gratifying considering the high level of applications for the position, that the stand out candidate was an existing member of our team.”
