North East digital marketing agency Mediaworks has hired Teesside University’s Associate Dean David Norris to become its Performance Marketing Director.
Brett Jacobson, Chief Executive Officer at Mediaworks, said: “We’re delighted to welcome someone of David’s calibre and experience to Mediaworks. His appointment will go a long way in supporting our new and existing clients, especially those in higher education and service-based industries.
“This past year has seen Mediaworks achieve considerable organic growth across all service lines and expand successfully into new target geographic markets with the opening of our Leeds office earlier this year.
“David’s addition to the team will help us progress further towards our vision of becoming the leading digital agency in the North.
Norris added: “It’s an exciting time to join Mediaworks. They’re an award-winning agency with a high-performance based culture and focus. Mediaworks has achieved fantastic organic growth to date, having been named as one of the top 50 fastest growing North East businesses within the last 12 months.
“The opportunity to work as part of such a talented team and to support a growing list of high calibre clients is a great opportunity. I look forward to playing my role in further enhancing the reputation of Mediaworks both nationally and internationally.”
The firm employs more than 100 staff in Gateshead, London, Leeds and Edinburgh and this expansion comes after it secured bank funding to support a management buy-out of a founding shareholder.
