“Mark is a top bloke. Having undertaken several key roles within Marketing at first direct his experience and knowledge is second to know, particularly when it comes to the different e-channels and e-adoption. Mark was heavily involved in the launch of the first direct Banking on the go iPhone App - a first for the bank and the blue print for further Apps developed and launched by first direct and the HSBC Group. Without Mark's experience and influencing at higher levels this project probably wouldn't have ran as smoothly as it did. He was also instrumental in the production of the first direct website security pages, working closely with Legal, Compliance, Marketing, Digital Solutions and third party agencies to deliver a new security area in time for launch with the new website. Now Mark is the Digital Marketing Manager, responsible for the day to day running of the content on the website, first direct and HSBC will benefit from Marks existing skills and insight and for Mark it will present an opportunity to add another string to his already strong background.”

AVG & first direct
Led AVG’s online marketing activities for its partnership with first direct, a member of the HSBC Group. Managed a copywriting and design team to produce a series of co-branded landing pages and pop-ups to communicate a special offer, exclusive to first direct customers, of two of AVG’s core products. Since launch, over 70% of visitors to the first landing page in the series have accepted the offer of a six-month trial of AVG Internet Security.
