Commenting on these appointments, Ollie Bishop, Steak Group CEO, said, “We’re very pleased to welcome Mark and John to Steak. They will play key roles in delivering to Steak’s clients the rounded digital offering that they are looking for from us. We have already seen social media become an integral part of the campaigns we are putting together and expect this area to go from strength to strength. And whilst affiliate marketing has been a core part of Steak’s business for some time we are fortunate that someone of Mark’s calibre has joined us to make sure that continues.”
