Team

Michael Plummer, Founder and CMO at New Era Marketing

Michael

Founder & CMO

  • Michael founded New Era Marketing in 2020 after a career spent building brands, launching products and helping sales teams turn marketing activity into measurable growth.
  • His experience spans demand generation, digital transformation, CRM, content and international product launches. He is at his best simplifying complex challenges and turning ambitious ideas into practical action.

Laura Wright, Project Director at New Era Marketing

Laura

Project Director

  • Laura has 20 years of marketing experience, including over 14 years in-house at JCB and six years agency side. She's worked across international markets, bringing together a broad mix of disciplines to deliver multi-channel campaigns.
  • Her experience spans PR, literature, branding and communications, alongside social media, content and digital marketing.
  • Outside work, you'll find her on the football sidelines cheering on her children, enjoying a good meal with friends or browsing interiors shops, usually with another home project in mind.

Simon

Project Director

  • Simon has almost 15 years of B2B marketing and communications experience, most of it at JCB, where he worked his way up from the graduate scheme to Head of Marketing and Communications. Along the way he spent four years in Singapore leading JCB's marketing across South East Asia.
  • He brings strong experience across communications, content, brand strategy and product launches.
  • Outside work he's usually hacking his way around a golf course or out on a long-distance run, and he'll happily tell you more about his running times than his scorecard.
