IMG have announced that Leonardo Izzi has been appointed as Director of Marketing for the Golf Course Services division.
In his role, Leo will provide IMG’s global portfolio of clubs and resorts with industry leading marketing support with a focus on driving strategic marketing campaigns, advertising and promotional opportunities, PR, e-marketing, social media actions, website content and brand awareness.
Previously, Leo spent more than seven years at London Golf Club, one of Europe’s premier facilities, where he held the Head of Marketing position for the last three years. During this period Leo was also directly involved in the promotion of professional events hosted at the club, such as the Volvo World Match Play Championship (IMG event) and most recently the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship.
“I’m really excited with this new chapter of my career. Having a regional role has been a goal for me for the past few years so being able to do that with IMG, a company with so much history in the game of golf is amazing. It was great to be part of London Golf Club for so many years and I’m now looking forward to working with and supporting IMG’s network of golf course partners around the globe” said Leonardo Izzi.
