CCgroup appoints Imran Majid as FinTech Deputy

CCgroup, the London-based technology PR agency, has appointed Imran Majid as deputy FinTech practice lead.

At CCgroup Imran will be responsible for client services and account direction, as well as supporting the expansion of the consultancy’s FinTech practice, working closely with division lead Daniel Lowther. Imran has more than eight years’ FinTech PR experience, particularly in capital markets, working for a variety of agencies and operating as a freelance consultant.

Previously, Imran worked within the financial services PR practices at Metia, One Chocolate Communications and Cognito. Before he began his PR career Imran worked for analyst firm IDC and industry publication Financial News.

“CCgroup has a strong heritage in FinTech and a track record of marrying strategic thinking with intelligent implementation to deliver programmes that impact client business objectives. But it’s got a unique take on the FinTech sector,” said Imran. “CCgroup’s ‘Catalyst’ initiative, which provides unique insight into what channels and content influence B2B buyers at different stages of the buying process, is a case in point. Innovation like this, alongside traditional and non-traditional influencer relations, means CCgroup is in an ideal position to change the way FinTech PR is done.”

“Imran’s experience and deep knowledge of the FinTech sector is incredibly valuable and we’re excited to have such a talent on-board,” said Richard Fogg, Managing Director at CCgroup. “2014 was a massive year for FinTech, especially in London, and 2015 is set to be even bigger. The appointment of Imran is critical in ensuring the practice continues on its growth trajectory.”
