IPC Ignite Appoints Senior Digital Producer

IPC Ignite, the division of IPC Media responsible for brands including Nuts, Loaded, NME and Uncut, has announced the appointment of Phil Wallis to the new role of senior producer, Digital.

Wallis joined IPC Ignite in 2001 as NME‘s multimedia editor before becoming online men’s lifestyle editor across Nuts.co.uk and Loaded.co.uk.

In his new role Wallis will head up the development and production of Ignite’s expanding video facilities across all media, reporting to Anthony Thornton, editor-in-chief of Ignite Digital.

Wallis said: “I’m honoured by the opportunity IPC has given me with this new role. Once again Ignite has demonstrated its commitment to innovation within this company, I’m really looking forward to all the immensely exciting challenges that I will have to tackle.”
