Thinkbox, the marketing body for commercial TV in the UK, has appointed Neil Mortensen as research and planning director.

Mortensen, the current research director at Opera OMG, will take up the new post, and a seat on the Thinbox board, in July. He replaces David Brennan who is "leaving to pursue other opportunities".

Thinbox managing director Lindsey Clay said: "Neil is exactly who we were looking for. He is hugely respected and has that perfect combination of a TV background, impeccable research credentials, and extensive experience of the agency and planning environment."

Mortensen, a former research director at ITV, became research director of Opera OMG in 2006. He jointly chairs the Media Research Group and also represents the IPA on the BARB board and the UKOM Technical Group.
