Spotlight.1888 – the retail services agency dedicated to helping brands and licensees with retail services, and retailers with licensing strategy – has responded to the increased demand for its services with the appointment of Mary Lewis as retail manager.
Mary (pictured above left with Hannah Redler, group retail director at Spotlight.1888) joins from The Entertainer where she held the position of licensing manager.

With true purpose at its core, I can’t wait to get stuck in and develop exciting and engaging campaigns with retail partners across multiple categories and be part of True Purpose Enterprises tribe.”
