ITV News’ former deputy editor, Richard Zackheim, has been appointed as Porter Novelli (PN) London’s media director.

RichardZ 1Zackheim will join PN London’s creative, digital and strategy team, which is led by head of strategic planning Jo Patterson.

He will also work closely with creative content director Ruby Quince and newly-appointed associate director for digital and content strategy Simon Sanett.

Fenella Grey, MD of PN London, said: “Having joined us straight from ITN, Richard powers up our burgeoning team to tell visual stories.
