Peate has a wealth of experience across Haymarket Network and the content marketing landscape, having worked within the company for several years.

She spent six years working across the medical brands and medical education projects within Haymarket Business Media, before moving to the consumer division to publish Pacemaker.

At Haymarket Network, she has driven new business and managed clients as diverse as Sony and the London 2012 Olympic Games ceremonies.

Costello commented: “I’m absolutely delighted to appoint Issie to this key role as Director of our world-class content marketing agency, Network. She understands the constantly-evolving content marketing requirements of our major clients better than anyone – and she will be leading an incredibly talented team as it enters a new phase of growth.”

As Group Account Director, Peate most recently headed up the growth of Haymarket’s Professional Associations Group, with major clients including the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply and the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development.

She will be working with the Network leadership team to focus on the growth opportunities for Haymarket’s award-winning content marketing agency as it develops its roster of blue chip clients, which includes the International Association of Athletics Federations, Volkswagen and the British Army.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to be working with the brilliant Network team to develop the next chapter in the agency’s story. Our content creators are among the best in the business – and our client list underlines that. With a focus on growth and delivering best-in-class client service, I’m excited to get on with the business of developing and delivering world-class solutions for our clients,” Peate added.

She takes up her new role with immediate effect, reporting to Costello.
