Mark Foster has joined the board of KitMapper, the peer-to-peer photographic, production and event kit hire company, as a Non Executive Director with immediate effect.
Mark, a former MD at Deezer and Senior Vice President at Warner Music, has over 30 years of experience in the creative sector. A NED/Chair on a number of high-profile boards, he is now focussing part of his time on identifying and nurturing successful startups.
His role on the board of KitMapper will be in conjunction with current board roles with 7digital, a global leader in end-to-end digital music solutions, Imagesound who curate in-store music for companies such as McDonalds and Pizza Express and, MIDiA Research, a highly-respected insight and analytics business, covering trends in the music, TV/video and Games industries.
KitMapper is the UK’s first equipment rental network created by a struggling artist for the creative industries.The peer-to-peer lender, launched in 2016, aims to put high-quality photographic, production and event kit in the hands of creators, and let owners earn money from lending out their kit. With over 2 million people working in the UK creative industries and funding to the arts constantly under threat, small, personal projects struggle to take off. KitMapper believes that the creative enterprise should never be hindered by expense or availability.
