Hannah Kimuyu
Director of Paid Media & Data Insights of Greenlight Digital
Hannah has been working in digital for over sixteen years, thirteen of which have been at Greenlight. A major element in Hannah’s success as a search professional is her historical knowledge and understanding of the way that search has grown over the years, coupled with her extremely specific hands-on experience. Hannah has been a key innovator in diversifying Greenlight’s paid media and data offering, moving the agency towards retargeting, audience insights, display, and paid social advertising, at a time when other agencies saw those innovations as a fad. As Greenlight’s Paid Media & Data Insights Director, Hannah is responsible for managing and delivering the agency’s paid media strategy for all clients. Through this role, she consults for some of Greenlight’s largest international clients, including New Balance, Superdry, ghd, and Victoria Beckham. In 2016, Hannah launched a second department; Data Science & Audience Insights. Partnering with Lotame, a data management platform, the service combines interaction, attitudinal, descriptive, and behavioural data to help brands understand who their customers are and what they’re buying with a cross-channel and cross-device focus.
