IPC Media’s international department is strengthening its international focus with the appointment of a business development manager and an account manager.

Commenting on her appointment, Cooper said: “This is a fantastic opportunity and I can’t wait to get started. I am looking forward to driving IPC’s fantastic brands even further and realising their full potential on an international level.”

Marzia Micocci has been appointed international account manager, and will be responsible for managing the smooth running of IPC’s international titles. Micocci, who has worked in account management at AOL and Excite, will work closely with Richard Benge, international executive to developing IPC’s international presence.
