Senior Hires for Expanding LivingLens

Consumer video analytics firm LivingLens has made two senior hires for its Sales & Marketing team. Sophie Goddard joins as Business Development Director and Kat Hounsell as Marketing Director. Both will be based in London.

Funded by angel investors and others, the company has offices in London, New York and Liverpool, and last month added two new video analytics modules to its platform, 'aggregate level multimedia analysis' and 'intelligent codeframe creation'.

Goddard brings more than ten years of insight experience, with a focus on working with media buying agencies. Most recently, she was Client Development Director at SSI, and earlier she worked at Ipsos MORI and Research Now. Her new role involves both expanding existing relationships and working with new clients.

Hounsell has spent the last decade at Maru/edr (previously eDigitalResearch) where she rose from Research Manager to Research Director, and since December 2014 has served as Sales and Marketing and then Marketing Director. In her new role she is responsible for Global Marketing strategy including partnerships with key agencies and technology partners.

Both report directly to Global Commercial Director, Andrew Mitchell, who comments: 'It's an exciting time for us. The continued advancement of our offer with our innovative analytics module and some fantastic new partnerships are just some of the examples of how the business continues to grow. I'm delighted to have Sophie and Kat on board, to allow us to deliver on the demand we are seeing and to further strengthen our team'.
