Creative communications agency Hatch has appointed Tobias Rawcliffe as head of new business and growth.
Joining from the Leeds office of business development agency Ingenuity, where he was business director, Rawcliffe brings with him over seven years’ experience, having worked with brands such as Spotify, L’Oreal, City Football Group and TUI.
Rawcliffe will be responsible for developing the agency’s outbound offer, upskilling the team and building systems around the sales and marketing processes.
Specialising in PR, social media, content and activation, Hatch has seen a record-breaking first half of 2024, with wins across its core sport, food and beverage and lifestyle offer.
Rawcliffes said: “Having built a great relationship with the Hatch team over the last couple of years, the opportunity to join them, at what is an exciting time for the agency, felt too good an opportunity to miss. We have our sights set extremely high, and we’re already on our way.”
James Hickman, managing partner added: “Like many agencies, over the past 16 years we have worked with numerous third-party suppliers, to varying degrees of success, to support us with our growth ambitions. We now feel it’s the right time to really supercharge our outreach and offer, and take Hatch to the next level.
“Given Tobias’ knowledge, network and experience, we’re in no doubt that we can build upon our already successful 2024 and we’re excited to see what the remainder of the year brings for us.”
