TOUCHCAST-01_IMG_0383.jpgTouchcast has welcomed three new senior figures to its Auckland leadership team: general manager Jacqui Copas, client service director Steve Pountney and design director Dean Pomfrett.

Touchcast MD, Andrew Hawley says he is excited about what the trio bring to the Auckland team: “It took us some time to find the right people with similar values and the relevant experience, but already Jacqui, Steve and Dean have made a significant difference to the business. 

“Jacqui’s mix of digital agency experience on brands like Samsung, Chevron, British Telecom, Reckitt Benckiser, The Nike Foundation, and Cancer Research UK, and her many years of client-side experience at Spark, Yellow and WHSmith, give her the balanced perspective we need to service our clients in the way they expect.

“With Jacqui spearheading a very talented team that includes Steve and Dean I’m really excited about the future of our Auckland offering, its commitment to our clients, and the great work they will be launching over the coming months.

“Both Steve and Dean bring a wealth of experience to the Auckland office. As Head of Client Service, Steve’s experience includes a five-year stint in London and most recently at Terabyte in New Zealand where he led a team to deliver a wide variety of enterprise level digital solutions for NZ Parliament, DairyNZ, NZTE and a number of tourism clients.

“Dean Pomfrett comes fresh from agency land where he secured more than a few accolades. A seasoned digital veteran, Deans brings over seventeen years’ digital experience across a range of startups and major brands like AA, ATEED, Air NZ, Ford, Freeview, Lion, Lotto, Mazda, McDonalds, Mini, NZX, Nosh, Pfizer, Sky, Spark, TVNZ, and Westpac.”

The new team join Touchcast as it continues to grow in both Wellington and Auckland, with Department of Internal Affairs, and New Zealand Business Number just some of company’s newest clients.
