The Chartered Institute of Marketing, the world’s leading professional marketing body, has appointed Louis Naudi, one of only a handful of its fellows, as the new marketing ambassador for Malta.

“An ambassador is a key representative of CIM and the main point of contact in selected international markets where there is no formal membership group or branch. In Malta, our activities have been very low key and we expect this to change,” Ian Marshall, head of international relations at CIM, said.

Mr Naudi has spent 22 years at board/CEO level, in both UK private and public bodies. His track record includes starting five very successful businesses, two for himself, the last for 15 years before returning to Malta, having won over 20 business awards.
