New Appointment to Boost GCap’s New Media Activity

Will Harding will join GCap Media as group strategy and development director next month, focusing on GCap’s new media activity and opportunities for developing new, non-traditional revenues.

Harding will leave BSkyB where he was commercial director of the Sky networked media division, responsible for the strategic and commercial development of the company’s interactive, broadband and mobile content.

Harding previously spent a year as business development director at the internet search engine Ask Jeeves UK and Ireland following five years as general manager at beeb.net, BBC Worldwide’s internet service provider business, and two years as a management consultant at KPMG.

GCap Media chief executive, Ralph Bernard, said: “The media landscape is changing fast. With the growth of DAB, the proliferation of broadband and growing consumer demand for new and innovative content, radio has a unique opportunity to benefit.

“At GCap we recognise the need to attract the right people to take advantage of these opportunities. In Will Harding, we are recruiting a first class strategist with excellent commercial experience to complement, strengthen and lead our existing team and I look forward to working with him later in the summer.”
