Connie Magner, former account director at Northstar Travel Group, has joined micebook as part of our continued expansion, which has seen several new team members appointed in the last three months.

In her new role as commercial director at micebook, she will be responsible for driving sales across our growing events and media offering and developing our UK and international client portfolio.

Magner has an established career in media sales that spans 30+ years, predominantly in B2B, including roles at CAT Publications, selling across the whole CAT portfolio, including M&IT magazine and the M&IT Awards, and most recently at Northstar Travel Group which acquired CAT.

Prior to that she held roles at global travel retail publishers The Moodie Davitt Report, global B2B online database company, Kompass, and Reed Business Information, where she worked across titles including Community Care, Farmers’ Weekly and The New Scientist.

Magner said: “I am extremely excited to be joining the fabulous micebook team at such a thrilling time of growth for the company. I am really looking forward to sharing in the heart, creativity and positivity that is at the core of the brand.

“This is an amazing opportunity to grow the beautifully curated micebook events and drive the media brands to new heights. I can’t wait to meet up again with my friends in the fantastic global event prof community.”

Magner’s appointment follows two new appointments in our events team, and a new digital marketing assistant.

Ceri Bruce joined micebook in March as head of events, along with Francesca King as senior event manager.

With experience in the fashion, beauty, luxury travel, art and entertainment sectors, Bruce has worked on multiple freelance projects over the past several years for agencies including eveology and was formerly head of operations at This is Beyond, where she worked alongside King.

With over 10 years’ experience in the festival, luxury travel and media event industry, King will work alongside Bruce on developing, delivering and driving creativity within micebook’s growing event portfolio including EXPO, Ventures, the micebook Awards and more.

Aimee Franklin has also joined as digital marketing executive and will be supporting the team on all micebook projects.

Chetan Shah, micebook CEO & founder, said: “As our audiences grow across our digital, content and live offering it was crucial to bolster the team to support our amazing global eventprof community. We have spent the past few years finding product market fit which I now believe we have and I am super excited that we have moved into the team building phase with these awesome professionals joining micebook.”
