Integrated agency HUB has continued to expand its service offering with the addition of several new team members across its creative and digital departments.
The agency has hired two dedicated video editors, Andy Bland and Rhys Taylor, and expanded its digital offering with the arrival of Sanjay Purewal as head of SEO, Matt Jones as head of digital PR and Matt Wilson as paid media analyst.
The new recruits bring a wealth of client experience with them, including with Ann Summers, Thortful, L’Oreal and McDonald’s.
Matt Jones’ appointment also marks the first time HUB has offered digital PR to clients in-house.
“As SEO and paid media become increasingly important elements in the omnichannel marketing mix, we’ve seen a real groundswell of clients who are eager to invest in the services and reap the rewards,” said Rob Shaw, CEO at HUB. “Appointing Malcolm Slade as performance director earlier in the year was only the first step in supporting our clients in this regard, and I’m confident that the appointment of three new members to the performance team is going to not only provide all the necessary support for our new SEO and paid media clients such as Good Move, Drytino and My Breeches, but transform our existing clients’ online strategies for the better.”
The appointment of two dedicated video editors is also a first for the agency.
“We have always had strong video editing capabilities in our creative team, and I’m pleased
to say that these recent appointments are a result of increased client work across the
board,” Shaw continued. “With the introduction of our in-house CGI service last year and the increasing popularity of video content as a tool for websites, social media and SEO, we identified a need to hire dedicated video editors to ensure our clients continue to receive the same high-quality service they have come to expect from HUB.”
The hires are a continuation of expansion for the agency following Shaw’s appointment as CEO in November 2022, with eight new employees in 2024 to date and seventeen hires in 2023.
