AUTOCUE APPOINTS MARKETING DIRECTOR

Autocue, a leading company in television prompting, have appointed Adrian Scott as Marketing Director, with specific responsibility for developing the company’s growing business in software based news technology.
Scott said: “It’s a big move for me after spending so long with basically the same product line. It’s also a big challenge. Autocue are, of course, the name in prompting, but few people realise that with the WinCue products they have made a lot of progress in newsroom and transmission automation as well. I am really excited about helping them archive their very significant potential in these areas.”
Scott has been involved with broadcast newsroom computing since 1982, when he joined TV-am as an Executive Producer and used the first version of the BASYS system. Joining BASYS as Head of European sales in 1985, he spent 15 years with the company, staying with them through several periods of changed ownership, and until recently, acting as Vice President of EMEA marketing at iNEWS, the company’s latest identity.
Jim Lucas, Autocue Director, said: “This is a significant step for us. Adrian Scott has a big reputation in this business and has achieved major success in his career. His appointment should send a message to the industry that we are taking newsroom automation very seriously indeed and see it as a big growth area.” (CMcL)
