Director of leading North East communications agency, West Marketing Communications, Claire Stockton has been elected to Fellowship of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). With over 15 years experience in marketing and a proven record of expertise and results, the CIM has decided to reward Claire for her dedication to marketing excellence.

Election to the Fellowship of the CIM is a major distinction that is awarded for substantial contribution to the industry.<!--[endif]-->In total, there are 2246 fellows worldwide and only 328 of those are female.

Claire completed her marketing diploma with the CIM and three years ago she decided to go it alone and set up her own marketing communications agency.  Since then, the agency has flourished - expanding to a 10 strong team, West now works with global brands such as Flymo, Sage and Tomme Tippee.

Claire said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be elected to Fellowship (FCIM) with the Institute. Studying for my diploma with the CIM allowed me to perfect best practice and drive West Marketing Communications forward. We pride ourselves on creativity that is underpinned with insight, intelligence and marketing theory – it’s this that makes West different and has allowed the whole team to work alongside some fantastic global brands.”

“I’m also a firm believer in investing in staff and I’m proud to say that all Account Handlers at West are either CIM accredited or studying towards their CIM qualification. Creativity has to be underpinned with strong rationale, theory and best practice in order to deliver results – studying with the CIM means all of these things are second nature to the West team”

The West Group has a wealth of experience, working with prestigious B2B clients, household brands, retailers and professional businesses in the UK and Europe.  West provides a range of services including strategic insight, branding, design, photography, PR, digital and social media.
