New talent takes charge at webSEND

WebSEND (formerly Digigate), a leading international electronic ad delivery service provider, under new ownership and new management, has announced the appointment of Greg Wickstrom as General Manager: South Africa. WebSEND, originating from Australia, is a leader in the ad delivery market, where speed, accuracy and security are paramount.

Commenting on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for WebSEND, Greg said: "The imminent launch of WebSEND 2 technology represents a substantive shift in the way business is conducted between advertisers, agencies and publishers. The trend is for publishers to move away from receiving film material or CDs. The publisher's preference is to receive an X1a certified PDF delivered electronically.

"WebSEND is ideally positioned to assist large and small advertising agencies and repro houses in undertaking this comparatively simple and low cost shift to a new way of delivering material."

Greg has extensive technical qualifications and management experience in the print and production industry: at TNPC, Krestahague International Consulting, This Day, and the Independent group as production manager and advertising operations manager.
