Jules Arnott Named Marketing & Communications Director at Really Useful Theatres Group

Really Useful Theatres Group announced today that Jules Arnott will be joining the company as Marketing & Communications Director on 30th October 2017.

Jules will be joining the business at an exciting time, as it launches a number of new initiatives, works on major investment schemes, and completes the bringing in-house of all ticketing services. Responsible for maximising all these opportunities, as well as harnessing data and digital relationships to build customer profiles, this will drive engagement and the experience offered across the theatre group.

Joining us from The O2 where she held the position of Marketing & Communications Director, Jules has an excellent track record of driving the marketing function and achieving great results including growing footfall at The O2, increasing ticket sales for events, improving ancillary spend, and delivering value to commercial partners.

Really Useful Theatres Group Managing Director Rebecca Kane Burton, who was Vice President and GM of London's The O2 before joining Lloyd Webber's company in 2016, says "I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome Jules to the newly created role of Marketing & Comms Director. Having worked with her at The O2 for many years I know her experience, vision and enthusiasm well, and can't wait for her to bring all these assets to the Really Useful family. She's simply the best marketer I've ever worked with."

Jules Arnott comments "I'm joining Really Useful Theatres Group at an incredibly exciting time in the organisation's history and I look forward to working on the many projects and initiatives Rebecca and the team have kicked off. It has been a brilliant 6 years at The O2, a venue that will always hold a special place in my heart, but I'm excited to begin the new challenge."
