Infomedia recruits experienced profile as new CEO

Martin Ove Rasmussen becomes the new Group CEO at Infomedia, bringing extensive experience from the media and communication industry.

The largest provider of media intelligence solutions in the Nordics, Infomedia, appoints Martin Ove Rasmussen as Group CEO as of 2 January. He joins Infomedia after more than 20 years as the director of the media agency Mindshare, which he helped establish and successfully build.

– Martin is a strong, modern, and results-oriented leader with a background in the media and communication industry and extensive experience in Nordic management. I am convinced that with Martin at the helm, Infomedia will leverage its Nordic leadership position to achieve further growth and success in a rapidly changing media world, says Anders Heering, Chairman of the Board for Infomedia.

The Infomedia group has approximately 200 employees in offices in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Estonia. They develop and advise on media intelligence solutions, including media monitoring and analysis across media and platforms – locally and internationally.

– Infomedia is an incredibly exciting company that has rapidly developed in recent years with acquisitions, new partnerships, and product innovation in a highly competitive market. We need to build on that while ensuring a solid foundation and capitalization. Businesses and organizations are more focused than ever on nurturing and protecting their reputation across the media landscape. And here, Infomedia stands in a unique position with strong professional competencies, leading digital solutions, and a market-leading role in the Nordic region, says Martin Ove Rasmussen.

Infomedia is jointly owned by JP/Politikens Hus and Berlingske Media. Since its establishment in 2002, the company has expanded its business organically and through acquisitions, including Opoint in 2018 and M-Brain’s Norwegian and Swedish media monitoring activities in 2019. In 2022, Infomedia also invested in the tech startup company MediaCatch.

The position became vacant after the former CEO, Thomas Vejlemand, stepped down in October, after which CFO Kate Wichmann served as the acting CEO. The Infomedia board consists of CEO Martin Ove Rasmussen and CFO Kate Wichmann.
