He will focus on business development and revenue growth as part of the extended remit his new role entails, including the development of the new Marketing Edinburgh Corporate Partnership.
Mr Wakefield said: "I'm delighted to join the team at Marketing Edinburgh. I'm very clear about what needs to be done to strengthen the organisation.
"Marketing Edinburgh is building momentum, and we need to be even more commercially focused and build stronger partnerships to ensure we have the funds to market this city in the way it deserves."
Chief executive John Donnelly said: "Paul's fresh and collaborative attitude and approach is going to take the promotion of Edinburgh to the next level."

"By focusing the efforts of Thomas and Donald on the opportunities we have for our product lines it will enable us to continue to grow the business further."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
