Broadbent has almost 30 years’ experience in the creative industry, having worked with clients including Matalan, Next and The Co-operative. He has previously held roles at TBWA and Amaze.
MD Lee Ashton said: “Simon’s creative talent and award-winning experience will play a key role in our next phase of planned growth. He joins at an exciting time for the agency, and will support our ethos, of making the formal informal, and reputation for delivering outstanding creative output.
Broadbent added: “The growth opportunities are huge for both the creative team and agency overall, something which isn’t available at many businesses. I’m looking forward to helping Bugler Smith achieve its potential, and supporting the next stage of development.”
He is joined by two other senior hires.
