US media analysis and business intelligence firm Cymfony has appointed Jim Nail, formerly principal analyst at Forrester Research, as the company's first Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer. It also appointed Ted Crouch as VP of Engineering.

Nail's career spans market research, online marketing, brand advertising and direct marketing. He was at Forrester for eight years, focusing on how marketing strategies must adapt to technology-driven changes in media consumption.
