About Richard Clark
My name is Richard Clark. I am a Marketing Professional with over 11 years experience. This has been gained in both B2C (Business to Consumer) and B2B (Business to Business).
I won’t plot my CV in this section, however over the past few years I have increased my specialism in online advertising, digital marketing and eCommerce.
I recently celebrated my second anniversary at the world’s largest consumer electronics retailer Best Buy . My main tasks were to build the brand in readiness for its launch in the UK. This wass a unique opportunity to launch a large scale brand as a start up and ensure the marketing and brand is built from an integrated standpoint. In my role I am Head of Online Marketing with overall responsibility for strategy and the activation plan. I am also shaped the entire brand and communications strategy pre-launch to ensure we generate a strong point of differentiation from day one. In addition I created the complete Social Media strategy that has one plaudits with industry commentators and also recognised us in the Top 100 Social Brands, ranking us in fifth place. I also developed the online strategy that has driven sales to aggresive targets and generated significant share on online business in our sector. This resulted in us winning ‘Best Newcomer’ at the 2011 A4U Awards.
Prior to Best Buy I was Head of eCommerce Marketing at DSGi, responsible for a large team that drove all online acquisitional marketing for the core UK chains of Currys, Dixons, PC World and The Link. My team is responsible for Search Marketing, Affiliates, Price Comparisons, eMail, CRM, Display and Social/UGC.
I joined DSGi from Nationwide Building Society where I held a variety of roles. I led teams and devised strategies on internet marketing, digital advertising, product management and sponsorship.
I have also contributed to a number of industry titles including: NMA, Revolution, Marketing, Marketing Week and Internet Retailing. In addition I have spoken at a number of conferences on internet marketing.
