Global Radio has hired BSkyB's strategic content editor Ben Perreau to become Director Of Digital Content. He will have a group-wide role coordinating online editorial and content strategies on all of Global's radio station's websites, some of which are currently pretty awful, so he'll have his work cut out.
Perreau previously worked at IPC on Uncut and NME's websites, and later co-founded music content aggregator Gigulate. Confirming his new role, which kicks off in November, he said these words: "Global represents a rare opportunity to work with a world-class team on the nation's most successful radio brands".
