Lansons has promoted director Claire Southeard to its management board, following her appointment by the reputation management consultancy last year.

Southeard’s appointment to the management board, which is responsible for the day-to-day running of the business, recognises her rapid and significant contribution to Lansons. Her role is to speed up the development, transformation and integration of Lansons’ digital, content and marketing offer.  She joined the agency 11 months ago having previously worked as a managing director within two global consultancies. 

Tony Langham, chief executive of Lansons, says, “Clients want two kinds of services from strategic consultancies: reputation management and integrated marketing.  Claire has already been central to bringing our content offering to an exciting place. Her success to date, together with her previous managerial experience, make her a natural for our management board.”

Southeard says, “I am thrilled to join the management board to help shape the future of the business. It is testament to the senior team’s commitment to maintaining a market-leading proposition that we have been able to develop our multi-channel offer so quickly. With the vision and talent in this agency, I am excited and ambitious for where we will take our integrated marketing services next and the opportunities that offers our clients and our people.”
