The investment sees Gary Greenall and Melissa Saunders join ilk as Creative Account Director and Creative Account Executive respectively, with Adam Gibbons joining as Web Developer. Rebecca Farnsworth has also joined as PR Account Executive.

With over six years of Digital Marketing experience in-house and agency side, Gary’s expertise is already being used to further develop digital campaigns and strategic measurement in his role as Creative Account Director. Adam Gibbons is also supporting ilk’s web team, and will be working to enhance the company’s established web development offering.

Melissa Saunders joins the Creative Account Management team as Creative Account Executive and Rebecca Farnsworth also joins as PR Account Executive. Melissa and Rebecca have been brought on board to help develop client campaigns and support the business’ ongoing growth as part of its expansion.

Nev Ridley, ilk’s Managing Director, commented: “Digital is integrated into absolutely everything we do – but developing this offering isn’t just about employing people with techy minds that can facilitate digital campaigns, it’s about employing teams of people with different talents. Whether these lie in traditional comms or specific digital intel and insight, the beauty of offering different services is that everything can intrinsically link together to deliver tangible results for our clients.”

“These appointments are testament to our ongoing commitment to really drive digital change and develop a more holistic way of working. Our new recruits are already helping to further strengthen our integrated offering, so we’re really looking forward to seeing how this impacts our client campaigns over the coming months, and indeed into 2017.”

These new appointments are just four of a total seven in the past six months at ilk, and follow a number of new integrated account wins for the agency since its rebrand to ilk in July, which include Leeds based Kirkgate Market, the NHS and animal charity FOUR PAWS.
