A warm welcome to experienced marketing professional Nick Oppenheimer who has joined the CIM Midlands Board as creative communication ambassador.

Nick is currently executive planning director at McCann Birmingham and has a wealth of experience having worked in the strategy, research and planning function of a creative agency since graduating from Bath University in 1987.
