Exciting changes at mark-making*

March 2009

At a time when business news is at best depressing, mark-making* is bucking the trend. We have good news… no great news!

We’re delighted to welcome Dan Birch to mark-making* as our new Creative Director. He brings a wealth of top-flight experience and will play a pivotal role in the management team and growth of the agency. With an increased focus on digital in the marketing mix Dan also strengthens our integrated offering by bringing impressive digital creds with him.

As a former Design Director of LBI and Creative Director of 26 London, Dan adds extensive digital experience to the team. As a well-respected figure in the industry who last year was on the BIMA Awards committee and a Revolution Awards judge, we’re all looking forward to him helping us bag some new silverware in 2009.

Dan is already getting stuck into work and has got to know the team: “We have some great talent here, producing impressive work for a wide range of brands. But I believe there’s more to come. Watch this space!”

Ali Williams thinks the new appointment is very exciting for mark-making*: “Dan will ensure that we are able to continue to deliver a core proposition based on problem-solving. The idea will always be king and at the heart of what we do. In addition to being a fantastic ‘enabler’, Dan brings the expertise, experience and strategic thinking to ensure our clients make the most of the digital channel. In a short, he may have big hair, shiny cuff links and drive a Smart car, but boy oh boy are we excited about having this dude on board.”
