"We are thrilled to be expanding our international footprint under the new banner of Allied Global Marketing," commented Clint Kendall, Allied's CEO. "Launching the new office in London is part of our overall strategy to grow with our existing clients and bring our unique digital marketing expertise to new clients around the world."

Cunningham added, "It is an exciting time to be in the industry for both Allied and our clients. As the delivery of entertainment content is shifting to digital streaming platforms, it is also becoming increasingly global in nature, and that is the market that Allied is well-positioned to serve. Moreover, we couldn't have found a better person to help us accomplish our goals than Rachel Mansson, who has spent her career in the ever-evolving world of international content distribution."

In addition to expanding Allied's footprint internationally, Cunningham will continue to oversee the agency's digital division across North America and UK/Europe. Prior to joining Allied, Cunningham was the Founder & CEO of 87AM, a leading full-service digital agency for arts, entertainment and culture, which became part of Allied in 2011, and has continued to operate as its digital division. The 87AM name will also transition to Allied Global Marketing as part of the rebranding. Cunningham will be a featured speaker at several upcoming key industry events, including IBC, Europe's leading electronic media conference, MIPCOM, the world's entertainment content market, and Videoscape Europe, the thought-leadership event for TV streaming.

Before joining Allied Global Marketing, Mansson served as VP Marketing, International New Media at NBCUniversal where she successfully conceived, built, launched and grew many flourishing digital businesses and products internationally.
