Simren Deogun Promoted to Director, Digital Innovation at Stephen Thomas Ltd

Stephen Thomas Ltd (ST),  has announced that Simren Deogun has been promoted to Director, Digital Innovation.

In her new role, which is a promotion from her previous position as Senior Account Manager, Digital & Marketing Services, where she was the account lead for a long roster of such notable clients as MSF Canada, Cuso International and Kids Help Phone to name a few, Deogun is now responsible for working with ST’s clients to ensure they’re thinking strategically about their digital channels. Simren has a proven track record of attracting new donors and supporters to her clients’ cause while making sure existing donors feel even closer to the organizations they’re supporting.

“My goal,” says Deogun, “is to help our clients exceed their goals. There’s so much more sophistication and understanding of the value of the digital space among charities now than there was even a short time ago. We want to help our clients build on that momentum with strategic thought-leadership and creativity, whether it’s a purely digital play or a fully integrated campaign.”

“Over her four-plus years at ST,” says ST President Neil Gallaiford, “Simren has very quickly established herself as a bona fide expert in digital fundraising, advocacy and marketing for the non-profit sector. We’re very pleased to see her step up and assume an even more important strategic role for our clients and within the Canadian non-profit sector, at large.”
