The Institute of Promotional Marketing (IPM) has today
announced the appointment of Paul Cope to join the IPM’s Executive team to lead
the organisation forward. Paul Cope joins with a heavyweight marketing career
under his belt, having worked client and agency side with a wealth of
promotional and integrated experience to add to the IPM’s talent base.

current IPM lead, Carey Trevill, steps down after three years in the role to
take on a new direction when she leaves the organisation in early summer.
During this period, Cope and Trevill will ensure a smooth handover for Members
in the run up to the IPM’s legendary Awards night.
The
Board would like to thank Carey for her hard work during this period, with
Chairman John Sylvester commenting: “I would like to thank Carey for the
tremendous contribution she has made to the IPM during her tenure. She and her team have worked tirelessly
serving our members and keeping the IPM aligned with the rapid change we have
seen in the industry over recent years.
On a personal note, it has been a great pleasure working alongside Carey
and I wish her every success with her future plans.
I am delighted to welcome Paul to the helm. His knowledge, expertise and experience makes
him ideally placed to take the IPM forward and continue the momentum that has
built up over the last few years.”
