Stephen Rust is new CFO at The Search Works
The Search Works have appointed Stephen Rust as their new chief financial officer following the new additions of Jim Brigden and Nick Hynes.
The Search Works, Europe's largest search engine marketing company, has today announced the appointment of Stephen Rust as chief financial officer. Former group commercial director of full service digital agency Outrider, Rust will head up financial operations at WSPS, as well as develop the company at both a commercial and strategic level.
While at Outrider, Rust was responsible for the financial and commercial growth of the business, including acquisition identification and implementation. His successes, which he intends to replicate at WSPS, include dramatically increasing revenues while developing operations organically and by acquisition from two UK brands to five, across 12 countries in the US, South Africa and Europe. Outrider Group clients included Nationwide, Direct Line, Audi, Visa and Levis.
"Both Nick and Jim have an outstanding reputation in developing search marketing across Europe whilst at Overture and it is that reputation that has convinced me of the very real opportunity at WSPS. I am excited by the ambitious plans for utilising the powerful functionality of its BidBuddy."
