Former Diageo Man Promoted at TNS Australia

TNS Australia has promoted Darren Kemp to National Director - Consumer. He has been the agency's Regional Business Development Director for a year, following eight years working on the client side for Diageo.

Kemp, who will be based in Sydney, has more than 17 years of brand planning and marketing research experience. His last role at Diageo was Group Global Brand Planning Director, heading up a team of senior Global Brand Planners and focusing on development of portfolio strategies, individual global brand positioning and communication strategies. He worked previously at Lion Nathan, setting up its first research department; and at CM Research in New Zealand, now part of TNS.

Chris Riquier, MD of TNS Oceania, comments: 'Darren taking on this role is a great coup for TNS - both within Australia and globally. He brings rich experience to this role and his focus on developing brand essence and communications strategies will benefit both clients and colleagues.'
