LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As Corra marks a milestone, celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the opening of their London office, the agency is pleased to announce an exciting addition to the UK team. Alex Shepherd, EMEA Commercial Director, comes to Corra with more than 15 years of experience working in many key facets of retail business. With a background in delivering advertising campaigns to drive bricks and mortar sales, and new ecommerce business, Alex is poised to drive growth to Corra’s London operations.
Alex launched his career at Carat (formerly MediaVest), where he spent more than 12 years working with brands such as Virgin Money, Holland and Barratt, Brother UK, and Talk Talk Business. He began his time at the agency as a TV buyer, and progressed to the client services department delivering client strategy and growing into the role of Associate Director.
