Ubisoft has appointed Murray Pannell as its new UK marketing director, who joins the company after six years at Microsoft.

Pannell replaces Ubisoft’s Jon Rosenblatt, who is now leaving the company after three years. Rosenblatt will now work for Electronic Arts as the firm’s European marketing director for its sports titles, a role which Pannell once undertook before joining Microsoft.

“I'm delighted to welcome Murray to the UK team as our marketing director,” says Rob Cooper, Ubisoft's UK managing director. “He has a wealth of marketing experience and is a popular and well respected industry figure.”
