APPOINTMENTS
Opinium Research has hired Chris Carey to head up its new Music, Media & Entertainment division. “Consumption data is abundant in the entertainment industry, but using data in the right ways is still a complex proposition”, says Carey. “It’s crucial that data empowers the creative, rather than hinders it. I’m excited to help businesses of all sizes harness data to make better decisions and equip creators to deepen engagement with fans and maximise their impact”.
