PRESS RELEASE : New Head of Marketing

Daniel Gray Appointed Head of Marketing at ILC Media

Growing independent DVD label ILC Media has announced this week that Daniel Gray has been appointed to the role of Head of Marketing for the company following a successful period as Marketing Coordinator since joining in October 2005.

Taking a new direction over recent months, ILC Media has expanded to incorporate new genre programming, in addition to its core football output, and the appointment recognises the ambition of the organisation to expand its operations and fulfil the potential of current and future brands within its portfolio.

Daniel oversaw the company’s branding transition from ILC Sport to ILC Media in June 2007, which was implemented to account for the strategic repositioning that saw the portfolio extended to include fitness, film, documentary, music, special interest, biography, and further sport genre DVD releases.

Making the appointment, Business Manager Claire Fitzgerald said “Daniel is an asset to our team and business and has brought new focus and bespoke ideas to our marketing campaigns achieving great success.”

Daniel has been with ILC Media for just over two years, in which time the company, under the guidance of Andrew Palmer and Claire Fitzgerald, has strengthened its position within the sport content field as new DVD distribution deals have been secured with Tottenham Hotspur, Bolton Wanderers, Portsmouth, and Southampton, in addition to their portfolio of other top tier clubs, including Chelsea FC, West Ham United, Everton, and Aston Villa.

Commenting on his appointment Daniel said:

“This is a fantastic opportunity with a growing, vibrant company. Over recent years ILC Media has established itself as one of the leading distributors of football DVD content, and I am excited to be able to play a part in building on this success and help in driving the growth of the business.

We have a great team and are all very excited about our future in the DVD market, despite concerns about the future of the industry. We have secured key relationships with major brands and have developed strategic partnerships that will enable us to evolve and deliver further growth”.

Notes to Editors

ILC Media has continued to see rapid growth over the past six years, emerging as one of the UK's largest independent DVD distributors, specialising in licensing football acquisitions. The company’s portfolio has expanded to include new deals with Premiership and Championship Clubs, as well as the English Football Association and European governing body, UEFA.

Whilst currently providing DVD distribution for Bolton Wanderers, Chelsea FC, Everton, Aston Villa, West Ham United, Portsmouth, Southampton, and Tottenham Hotspur, in 2007 the company, formerly recognised as ILC Sport, rebranded to accommodate non-sport genre releases.
