The review was led by bmibaby commercial director Julian Carr, who joined the company in May. Carr was previously a marketer at MyTravelLite.
The appointment follows an advertising and media planning and buying pitch, called in June, by British Midland, owner of BMI and bmibaby. In August, BMI appointed M&C Saatchi and Media Planning Group to its advertising and media planning and buying accounts respectively.
Earlier this month bmi appointed interim marketing director Katherin Gershon to the permanent position of sales and marketing director.
