Anna McChesney has been appointed as account manger with marketing agency MM&C.

She will have a particular focus on the finance and i-gaming sectors.

She has almost a decade of experience in marketing and PR, graduating in 2010 with a BSc in marketing from Newcastle University.

She returned to the island after graduating and has gained experience in a number of industries including hospitality, and in the legal sector at Appleby which is one of the island’s international law firms.

In addition, she spent more than five years at online gaming giant Microgaming as PR manager, driving external communications, media relations, and key messaging for the company.

Miss McChesney said: ’Having spent almost a decade in-house and building my knowledge in various fast-paced sectors, I am excited to be working for an agency and to be on the other side of the table. With a forward thinking team at MM&C, and a great range of clients, I am looking forward to this new chapter in my career.’

Craig Wolstencroft, MM&C’s founding managing director, said: ’Given her impressive range of skills and experience, she is the perfect addition to the business as we embark on our next phase of business growth both on the island and off island.

’As a growing business, part of Anna’s role will be to focus on identifying new opportunities, especially in the finance and i-gaming sectors where her specialist expertise and insight will give us a significant advantage.

’She will also play a vital role as we look for more organic growth from our existing, diverse, client base.’
