Simon Kendall has been appointed brand manager for the BBC's Top of the Pops (TOTP) music show. He will aim to promote the brand internationally using both above and below-the-line strategies, including new-media executions and the official TOTP web site (www.bbc.co.uk/totp). Kendall assumes the role from 6 May, leaving his position as head of BBC Radio International, a division that is responsible for global radio programme distribution and operates within the BBC Music division. He will report to Anna Broughton, BBC Music's marketing and business director. "This is a major global music brand and the opportunity to further its international development is fantastic," said Kendall.
