Ipsos' Thompson Takes Senior Social Media Role

In New York, Ipsos OTX MediaCT is expanding its Corporate Development team with the appointment of Kevin Thompson as Senior Vice President, Social Media.

The division was formed last year following Ipsos' acquisition of LA-based hi-tech, media, content, and technology sector specialist OTX (Online Testing Exchange).

Thompson previously worked for Ipsos in the UK, where he spent eight years in the company's London office - latterly as Deputy European Account Director. After this, he took a senior level role with OTX Research prior to its acquisition.

'Ipsos offers research solutions that help clients find clear and strategic answers to their questions, and Kevin's role will be to help connect clients to those answers,' explains Ian Wright, EVP of Corporate Development. 'He brings a high degree of insight and analysis to his work, and is valued as a thought leader in the area of social media research.'
