Late last week, Flipboard hosted an exclusive kick-off event to announce the expansion of the business team focused on advertising partnerships in EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa).
Flipboard’s Head of Advertising Partnerships, Christine Cook, joined the local team of Lucy Gould, Christian Cecchi and Paul Katz in the West End of London at the penthouse of The Club at The Ivy to offer a warm welcome to advertisers, publishers and media professionals and to toast the next stage of Flipboard’s growth in the market.
