Jonathan Forster Named Commission Junction UK Country Manager
LONDON, UK, 7 June 2004 -
Commission Junction, a ValueClick company, today announced the appointment of Jonathan Forster as UK Country Manager. Jonathan's role will be to lead the continued UK growth of the world's most successful affiliate marketing company. He will also assist local managers across Europe to roll out clients' programmes.
The appointment heralds an aggressive phase of recruitment to satisfy the business' needs, with Jonathan appointing at least a further eight personnel to support Commission Junction in the UK over the next quarter.
Jonathan Forster joined ValueClick in 1999 where his role as Director of Sales included building a network of publisher sites for its European operations, contributing to its present level of over 5,000 European websites.
