It’s been a real rise through the ranks for the new Joint Managing Directors of Fusion Unlimited.
Kyle Brogan and Katie Harling started at the Leeds digital marketing agency as placement students 14 and 19 years ago respectively.
They will take over from current MD and founder, Mark Curtis, who’ll be moving into a new role of Managing Partner.
Long term staffer, Craig Broadbent, who joined in 2007 has also been promoted, to Operations Director.
“To think that when I accepted my first job out of University at Fusion, that I’d still be here 19 years on and now Joint Managing Director, is testament to what an amazing place it is to work!” said Harling.
“Looking ahead and leading the direction of Fusion alongside Kyle and Craig, two highly experienced and well-regarded digital specialists in the industry is something I am extremely proud of. We have set ourselves high ambitions for company growth across retention, acquisition and development, and we are excited to deliver on them.
“Fusion has given me opportunities throughout my career that I will be forever grateful for, and I aim to pass this on to the rest of the team as we move into a new and exciting chapter.”
The new management team said they planned to “steer the agency in a new direction.”
“We’ve seen Fusion grow and adapt to an ever-changing industry and we’re thrilled to be leading its next chapter,” added Brogan.
“Our first move as Directors will be to focus on client acquisition and retention and aim to continue to maximise turnover across the next 12 months. We also want to make sure that Fusion continues to be a great place to work and somewhere that gives junior staff the opportunity to develop and amplify their careers – both within the agency and beyond.”
Mark Curtis founded Fusion Unlimited in 1997 and said that while he was taking a “slight step back from the day-to-day running” he would remain “firmly involved in the business.”
