Stein has over 20 years of experience in marketing and commercial leadership in the membership and publishing sectors. His most recent position as Director of Services and Development at Design & Artists Copyright Society (DACS), saw him represent over 90,000 artists, photographers, designers and illustrators worldwide. Prior to this, he was Marketing Director for three leading UK publishing houses.
Shown by strong and sustained membership growth during his years at DACS, Stein is adept in developing needs-based member services. He is also Fellow of the Institute of Direct and Digital Marketing; the only government-approved institute for the professional development of direct and digital marketers. Already active and renowned in the membership sector, Stein regularly speaks at industry conferences and participates in workshops.
Commenting on the appointment, Milan Cvetkovic, BCFA Chairman says: “We are delighted Jeremy is joining the BCFA. Jeremy brings with him proven skills in digital media and marketing and developing membership organisations and we are confident he will continue the excellent work of Colin Watson who left in June. We see great opportunity to grow and expand our range of services and Jeremy’s extensive service development experience will be invaluable in this.”
Stein comments: “I’m delighted to be joining the BCFA at such an important time for the organisation and sector and am looking forward to working with such a committed and experienced team. At the BCFA we offer an incredible breadth of knowledge, services and events, but we do need to assess how we can provide new and greater value and services of benefit to both our existing and prospective members.”
