Ruby Ribbons joins the team as a junior account manager, following a degree in communications at Northumbria University. She will be working on a number of client accounts – including UNTHA UK and SNF – and providing social media support as part of her role.

Another addition to the creative crew is senior account manager Emma Heslop.

With a wealth of experience in marketing, including 20 years in the design and print industry, Emma is already heavily involved in numerous client projects, and is currently handling the design and digital marketing for the agency’s biggest client Little Tikes.

Managing director Andy McCaul said: “Both Ruby and Emma have the digital skills that we look for in all our staff – and have slotted into the team perfectly. With Emma’s vast experience, I am confident that she will bring a wealth of creative knowledge to the table.
