On Device Research expands global team with commercial lead hire

The purpose of the newly created role is to increase the company’s international footprint and drive new business relationships across Southeast Asia and Australia.

Clarke (pictured) has more than 20 years’ commercial experience in market research businesses. Previously, he worked as client services director of media at Nielsen Sports and was a client director at Ipsos.

His focus will be on scaling business acquisition across the APAC region, whilst also strengthening the company’s current client base within the territory.

Accelerating international growth will enable On Device Research to continue to expand its advertising effectiveness products into more territories and provide international markets with better access to its suite of solutions, including digital, social, audio, out-of-home and connected TV research.

Alistair Hill, chief executive and co-founder of On Device Research, commented: “It’s great to have Simon join us at such a crucial stage in the company’s international development.

“He joins a growing team that has doubled in size over the last year to support a business growth of 35% in the APAC region.

The newly created role will allow On Device Research further exposure across key territories where our research products can continue to offer clients innovative and technically advanced solutions in the media research space.”
