Meet our directors

Mark Applin
Mark has specialised in marketing and communications for over 15 years, with the past 12 years focused on internal communications. He has worked with a number of household names, blue-chips and multinationals. His experience spans the private and public sectors - retail, travel, tourism and charities are areas of particular expertise.

In 2001, Mark founded Intermedia. Keen to help organisations improve the quality of their internal communications, he has developed the business to focus on providing expert advice that enables clients to think strategically as well as act tactically.

With the benefit of a close focus on internal publics, Mark is always enthusiastic about opportunities to make the working world a better or more efficient place. Never afraid to roll up his sleeves and step onto the shop floor to see what's really going on, he is passionate about pushing the envelope and delivering excellence.

Whether it's operational efficiency, audience engagement, organisational transformation or just a 'curve ball', Mark is never short of a good idea or two.

Mark is a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations and Melcrum.
