Ikea's Farkas joins GMG to head up marketing

GMG has appointed Michael Farkas as marketing director after nearly a decade masterminding the production workflow behind the Ikea catalogue.

Managing director Robert Weihing said Farkas adds to the colour-management software company's global marketing strategy with "substantial experience in international project management and business development and invaluable experience in the development and management of large scale media projects".

Farkas described GMG as "an impressive brand" and a "great team" with high hopes for a wide-format targeted product to be launched at Fespa.
